EB-2 National Interest Waiver: a green card for work that matters to the US
The National Interest Waiver lets an EB-2 applicant skip the employer and the labor certification by showing the work has substantial merit and national importance, that they are well positioned to advance it, and that on balance waiving the job-offer requirement benefits the United States. It is the most common green card path for founders, researchers and engineers who do not yet meet the EB-1A bar.
Education, not legal advice.
