We’ve assembled some facts about this waiver as well as how we may be able to assist you in your immigration journey.
What to Keep In Mind About the National Interest Waiver
The National Interest Waiver (NIW) serves as an advantageous pathway for those seeking the employment-based, second preference (EB-2) visa, as it circumvents the often arduous PERM labor certification process. Traditionally, the PERM labor certification process requires sponsorship by a U.S. firm. However, the NIW provides foreign nationals the freedom to self-petition for their EB-2 visa without any company-based sponsorship. This self-petitioning option mandates precision and comprehensive documentation, the process of which can be significantly facilitated with the aid of a professional attorney to bolster the likelihood of an affirmative outcome.
There’s no legal obligation to appoint an attorney for immigration issues. However, given the surge in denial rates for employment-based green card applications, it is judicious to tap into the knowledge of a professional. The NIW process encompasses numerous critical components. A solitary misstep could result in substantial delays stretching over months or even years or, worse, outright denial.
How a National Interest Waiver Lawyer Can Help
It’s understandable that you may want to at least look at whether or not you can apply for a NIW yourself. However, that’s not wise. Choosing to secure a seasoned immigration attorney when applying for an NIW for your EB-2 visa can prove to be an invaluable decision.
For example, the EB-2 NIW process is intricate to say the very least. At a bare minimum, it demands a thorough grasp of immigration law. With an immigration attorney by your side, they give you the best chance for successful guidance to steer through what can be an intricate, legal maze.
In addition to that, the EB-2 NIW application process is intensely competitive. The USCIS eligibility criteria is, at the risk of understatement, stringent. By partnering with an accomplished immigration attorney, you can significantly amplify your success odds by ensuring your application complies with all USCIS requirements.
On top of all of that, our attorneys can provide personalized legal counsel specifically tailored to your case. They can meticulously review your qualifications, professional experience, and research achievements to ascertain your eligibility for the NIW. Furthermore, they can guide you in the optimum strategy for presenting your case to USCIS, including assisting with the necessary supporting documentation. That’s just the start of how we can help.
Handling All of the Details for You
In an immigration case, the details matter. Even those seemingly “tiny” details can make a significant difference. Case in point: you don’t want to have to deal with any errors when it comes to your NIW application. We can help you to avoid costly errors during the EB-2 NIW application process.
Even a negligible error or overlook can be disastrous, leading to application denial or unwarranted processing delays. With the experience of an immigration attorney, you can evade these potential stumbling blocks, ensuring your application is not just error-free and completed as it should be completed: thoroughly and on-time.
We understand how stressful the immigration process can be. Going through the NIW application process can be an intimidating and demanding ordeal. Entrusting this onerous task to an immigration lawyer takes the responsibility “off of your shoulders,” so to speak.
With this, you can concentrate on your work and other pressing concerns. Of course, having the right lawyer in your corner ensures you stay updated about any developments or modifications in the application process, easing the burden of meeting deadlines and compliance requirements.
A NIW Lawyer on Your Side and More
Partnering with legal counsel for the NIW process is a worthwhile investment. It not only saves time and money but also potentially wards off application refusals. Initially, an attorney would gauge your qualifications, past accomplishments in your domain, and the nature of your proposed endeavor. This crucial input can assist in determining whether pursuing an NIW is the most suitable option for your specific circumstances.
That said, if the NIW isn’t the most suitable option for you, that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. Far from it. We can help you to immigrate to the United States in a variety of ways. To schedule a free case evaluation and see how we can help, message us through our site or call.
