National Interest Waiver

Boston National Interest Waiver Lawyer

national interestFor individuals with extraordinary abilities who are seeking employment in the United States, there are specific types of visas and immigration documentation that are needed and can be applied for. At the office of Ginsburg & Gaynor, we strive to help qualified business immigration candidates effectively gather all documentation and applications for a National Interest Waiver.

The National Interest Waiver (NIW) is an EB2 visa that asserts that the applicant's permanent residence in the United States would be in our nation's best interests. These cases are considered on an individual basis and incorporate supporting documentation that speaks to the individual's ability to contribute to the United States.

Factors that are often considered when granting a National Interest Waiver include that the admittance to the country will:

  • Improve the U.S. economy
  • Improve wages and working conditions of other U.S. workers
  • Improve educational and training programs for U.S. children and underqualified workers
  • Provide more affordable housing for young, aged, or poor U.S. residents
  • Improve the U.S. environment and lead to more productive use of our national resources

Also, the admission to the country may be requested by an interested government agency here in the United States. In these cases, and others, the application for the National Interest Waiver is supported by documentation from influential, established, and often well-known individuals and organizations. The considerations for obtaining an EB2 (National Interest Waiver) visa can be seen on our EB1 - EB2 - EB3 page.
