National Interest Waiver (NIW)/Extraordinary Ability
National Interest Waiver (NIW)/Extraordinary Ability
United States immigration law is incredibly complex. In order to successfully navigate the complicated legal system, it is essential to work with experienced, knowledgeable immigration attorneys. Ustun Law Group, PLLC is based in Dallas, TX and serves clients across the country. Our attorneys and team provide counsel in a number of areas, including workplace immigration compliance and more.
What is a National Interest Waiver (NIW)?
This type of waiver can be self-petitioned (an employer does not need to provide sponsorship). Under the new ruling, the self-petition EB-2 national interest waiver is more widely available. As a result, our firm anticipates a significant increase in filings, including in some cases where the self-petition EB-1 extraordinary ability immigrant visa category might be in consideration.
“As a seasoned NIW immigration expert, I wholeheartedly welcomed the new EB-2 NIW precedent decision, Matter of Dhanasar, published on 12/27/2016. The new decision effectively replaces the previous NYSDOT and makes the EB-2 NIW widely available to applicants who did not qualify under the old NIW standard. It remains to be seen as to how the USCIS will adjudicate cases under the new NIW standard.”
