National Interest Waiver
The National Interest Waiver petition allows foreign nationals to bypass the cumbersome labor certification process which is ordinarily required in obtaining permanent residence through the EB-2 employment-based permanent residence category. In order to qualify for the National Interest Waiver, the following three requirements must be met. First, the applicant must be seeking employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit. In other words, applicants must prove that there is something inherently beneficial about the work they propose to do in the United States. Second, the proposed benefit of the employment should be national in scope (i.e., beneficial to the entire nation). Third, the applicant must show that the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required.
Dunn Law Firm, LLP has substantial experience filing National Interest Waiver petitions on behalf of qualified professionals from across the United States and throughout the world. Despite the strict requirements and intense scrutiny afforded to National Interest Waiver cases by USCIS, our firm has had extraordinary success in obtaining approvals for professionals in a plethora of fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials science, engineering, genetics, aerospace and sociology. Potential clients can rest assured that we will only accept their National Interest Waiver case if we feel confident that it is likely to be approved. In the event that we determine that the National Interest Waiver is not a viable option, we will work with you to determine alternatives for obtaining your permanent residence that have a higher probability of success.
