National Interest Waiver (NIW)

National Interest Waiver (NIW)

Your Path to a U.S. Green Card

The NIW Green Card lets professionals, researchers, and entrepreneurs secure U.S. permanent residency without a job offer or employer sponsorship.

America welcomes global talent whose expertise delivers substantial value to its economy, healthcare, science, and innovation.

Evidence

Strong applicants show:

• Advanced degrees or exceptional ability
• Publications, patents, or awards
• Recognition from industry experts
• Proof of work with national importance

USCIS approves NIW cases when you prove:

• Your work has real merit
• It benefits the U.S. on a national level
• Waiving the job offer requirement is in the national interest

Why NIW? Freedom. Flexibility. Future.
