Frequent Questions

There are three main pathways to qualify for an EB2 visa:

1. Advanced Degree: You possess an advanced degree (master's degree or higher) or a bachelor's degree plus 5 years of progressive experience in your field. The position must require an advanced degree.

2. Exceptional Ability: You demonstrate exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. This requires meeting at least 3 of 6 specific criteria established by USCIS, such as recognition for achievements, high salary, membership in professional associations, etc.

3. National Interest Waiver (NIW): You qualify under either of the above categories AND can demonstrate that your work is of substantial merit and national importance, allowing you to self-petition without labor certification or employer sponsorship.

MyVisaUSA helps you identify which pathway best matches your qualifications and builds the strongest case accordingly.

A National Interest Waiver (NIW) allows you to bypass two requirements of the standard EB2 process:

1. The job offer requirement

2. The labor certification (PERM) process

To qualify for an NIW, you must demonstrate three key elements:

1. Your proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance

2. You are well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor

3. On balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the job offer and labor certification requirements

Examples of fields that may qualify for NIWs include medical research, technological innovation, clean energy development, education advancement, and business development that creates jobs or improves the U.S. economy.

MyVisaUSA specializes in crafting compelling NIW petitions that effectively demonstrate how your work serves the national interest of the United States.

The EB2 green card process timeline varies significantly depending on several factors:

1. Processing Pathway:

- Employer-sponsored cases with PERM: 1.5-2+ years (PERM: 6-12 months, I-140: 4-8 months, Adjustment of Status/Consular Processing: 6-12+ months)

- National Interest Waiver cases: 1-1.5+ years (no PERM required)

2. Country of Birth:

- For most countries: Current or minimal wait time after I-140 approval

- For India: Currently facing backlogs of 10+ years

- For China: Currently facing backlogs of 2-3+ years

3. USCIS Processing Variations:

- Premium Processing (available for I-140 petitions but not for PERM or adjustment applications)

- Current USCIS workload and processing priorities

MyVisaUSA provides regular updates on your case progress and estimated timelines based on current USCIS processing trends.

It depends on which EB2 pathway you pursue:

1. Standard EB2 Process: Yes, you typically need an employer sponsor who will file a PERM labor certification and I-140 petition on your behalf.

2. National Interest Waiver (NIW): No, with an NIW you can self-petition without an employer sponsor if you can demonstrate your work serves the national interest of the United States.

The standard process requires your employer to test the U.S. labor market through the PERM process to show that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position. This involves advertising the position, interviewing candidates, and documenting why U.S. applicants were rejected.

For professionals who prefer not to rely on employer sponsorship or whose work has significant value to the U.S., the NIW pathway offers an attractive alternative that MyVisaUSA can help you navigate.
