What is the national interest talent (NIW) immigration in the United States?

EB- 1 is the first priority category, which mainly includes outstanding talents (EB- 1A), outstanding professors and researchers (EB- 1B) and multinational managers (EB- 1C).

EB-2 is the second priority category, which mainly refers to outstanding talents. The entry criteria for these outstanding talents are:

1. People with master's degree or above; or

2. Persons with a bachelor's degree or above and more than 5 years' work experience; or

3. People with special skills

If you meet one of the above three requirements, you meet the requirements of EB-2. However, meeting the requirements of EB-2 will not make you immigrate to the United States immediately. Because, usually, you need to find an American employer who can get labor certification and work for this employer for a period of time after emigration. This is a difficult process to approve. However, for the sake of national interests, there is a special subcategory in EB-2, which is national interest exemption, or NIW for short. So when it comes to exemption, it is actually to avoid applying for a work permit, so that you don't have to find an employer and it becomes easier to immigrate to the United States. How can you get away with it is to prove that you can bring national interests to the country. In other words, without you, the national interests will be hurt.

In practice, we usually need you to meet the following two types of needs in order to immigrate to the United States in the NIW category:

1. Master degree or above, with certain academic background. For example, attending doctors, university professors, science and technology experts, etc. In order to achieve today's professional titles and status, these people must publish certain academic papers, and the papers are cited by others. In this case, it is easy to prove that the applicant can bring national interests to the United States. Therefore, you can immigrate directly to the United States.

2. Or, you have a bachelor degree or above, more than 5 years of work experience and outstanding performance in the industry. For example, entrepreneurs, corporate executives, scientific and technological research and development personnel, successful business people and so on. If these people have won prizes, or have been reported by the media, or are senior members of trade associations, or have patented inventions, they can prove that they can bring national interests to the United States. So, you can also immigrate to the United States directly.

So if you don't have a bachelor's degree, can you apply? It is also possible. But in real life, in this era, if you don't have a bachelor's degree, your Excellence is not easy to prove.

NIW is characterized by fast trial. You will know whether to approve or not 4-6 months after submission. After getting the approval, you need to wait for a visa, which is usually called scheduling. The current scheduling time is 4 years. Generally speaking, he is faster than EB-5 to invest in immigration. Most importantly, you don't need to pay an investment of 500,000 US dollars, and the overall cost is only a fraction of EB-5 investment immigration. At the same time, the green card you get is an unconditional permanent green card.

This project is especially suitable for people whose careers are booming in China at present. You want to get American immigration approval as soon as possible, so that you can arrange your child's education direction and career development pace, but you are not in a hurry to live in the United States right away.

Therefore, NIW immigrants are favored by people with a certain level of knowledge. We also hope that every American immigrant applicant will first test whether he meets the requirements of EB- 1A outstanding talents; If not, then test whether you meet the requirements of NIW national interest talents. In the absence of both, apply for EB-5 investment to immigrate to the United States.
