Determine the optimal employment-based green card category tailored to your credentials, citations, and proposed US endeavor:
EB-1 Priority Worker Visa
For individuals who represent the pinnacle of expertise in science, business, arts, education, or athletics, or multinational corporate executives.
- EB-1A Extraordinary Ability: 100% self-petitioning; requires fulfilling 3 out of 10 USCIS regulatory criteria.
- EB-1B Outstanding Researchers: Internationally recognized academic achievements with a 3-year tenure track.
- EB-1C Multinational Managers: Transferees with 1+ year managerial experience overseas in parent/subsidiary entities.

EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW)
For professionals holding an advanced degree or exceptional ability whose proposed endeavor in the US holds substantial merit and national importance.
- Waiver of Job Offer: Bypasses the multi-year employer-sponsored PERM labor certification process completely.
- Dhanasar Legal Framework: Demonstrating substantial merit, national importance, and individual positioning to advance the endeavor.
- STEM & Tech Focus: Highly favored under current USCIS executive guidance for AI, cybersecurity, medicine, and clean tech.
- Full Portability: Change jobs, launch startups, or consult across the US without tying your status to a sponsor.
The 3 Prongs of the Matter of Dhanasar (EB-2 NIW)
To secure an EB-2 National Interest Waiver, your petition brief must satisfy all three statutory prongs:
Substantial Merit & National Scope
The proposed endeavor has broad economic, technological, healthcare, or educational significance that extends beyond a single employer or locality.
Well-Positioned to Advance
Demonstrated through academic credentials, proprietary models, published papers, citations, grants, patents, and letters of recommendation from industry experts.
Beneficial on Balance to Waive Job Offer
Proving to USCIS that the national interest of the United States is better served by granting immediate self-petition status than requiring labor market testing.
