▪ EB-2: National Interest Waiver (Second Preference)
The National Interest Waiver (NIW) program was introduced in 1994 when the emmigration regulation was amended. The purpose of this program is to invite workers with exceptional ability who will be contributing to the national development and competitiveness of the United States. Since the program does not require a sponsor, an applicant will be waived the Labor Certification submission requirement. To be eligible under this category, the applicant must meet the following requirements :
① The applicant has a Master’s Degree (or a “Bachelor’s Degree and five years of related work experience”) or above;
② The applicant’s proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance; and

Although most applicants under this category are researchers or professors in the fields of science, engineering or medicine, professionals in various other fields,
such as entrepreneurs and economists, also apply under this category.
② The applicant’s proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance; and
③ The applicant is well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor.
