If you're an accomplished professional with an advanced degree or exceptional ability, and your work contributes to the national interest of the United States, the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) green card could be your ideal path to permanent residency. At Khanections Law PLLC, we help forward-thinking individuals self-petition for U.S. green cards by positioning their contributions as vital to the country’s well-being.

What is the EB-2 NIW?

The EB-2 NIW is part of the second-preference category for employment-based immigration. It allows individuals to apply for a green card without a job offer or labor certification—a significant advantage for independent professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers.

To qualify, you must:

  • Have an advanced degree (or equivalent), or

  • Demonstrate exceptional ability in your field

You must also prove that waiving the usual requirement for a job offer and labor certification would be in the national interest of the United States.

Who Should Consider the EB-2 NIW?

This category is especially well-suited for individuals working in:

  • Science and technology research

  • Environmental innovation

  • Public health and medicine

  • Education and policy

  • Infrastructure and economic development

If your work has broad implications for the U.S., the EB-2 NIW offers a unique opportunity to pursue a green card on your own terms.
