National Interest Waivers
“The Right Immigration Attorney Makes All The Difference”
The National Interest Waiver (NIW) is a waiver of the job offer requirement for individuals who wish to immigrate to the United States in the second preference category who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or individuals of exceptional ability in the arts, sciences, or business. A NIW request requires a showing significantly above that for prospective national benefit. The factors to be considered in evaluating the national interest are:
- The person’s proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance;
- The person is well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor; and
- It would be beneficial to the United States to waive the job offer and thus the permanent labor certification requirements.
May Law Group, LLC, files numerous national interest waiver petitions for scientists, renowned physicians, and leaders in business and industry. May Law Group will review CVs and Resumes to determine if an individual is qualified to file a NIW petition. This review is at no charge to the client.
