National Interest Waivers in Scottsdale, AZ
A foreign national of exceptional ability or holding an advanced degree may self-petition for a green card without a job offer from a U.S. employer if (s)he demonstrates that this would be in the national interest of the United States. The threshold criteria for the National Interest Waiver from an immigration lawyer are the following:
(1) the foreign national’s proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance; (2) (s)he is well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor; and (3) on balance, it would be beneficial to the US to waive the job offer and the labor certification requirements.
The National Interest Waiver (NIW) is discretionary. Therefore, the foreign national must show that (s)he otherwise merits a favorable exercise of discretion. The foreign national must prove that on balance the benefit his or her unique skills would provide outweighs the inherent national interest in protecting US workers through the labor certification process.
