National Interest Waivers
A National Interest Waiver (NIW) is a provision within the EB-2 green card category, allowing eligible foreign nationals to bypass the labor certification process by demonstrating their work has substantial merit and national importance. Applicants must hold an advanced degree or possess exceptional ability in fields like science, technology, engineering, arts, or business. Researchers, entrepreneurs, and highly skilled individuals may benefit from an NIW. Our firm assists in crafting persuasive NIW petitions, showcasing our clients' unique contributions, and guiding them through the complex immigration process for a successful outcome.

International Entrepreneurs
The new United States entrepreneurial visa program, also known as the "Startup Visa," provides a pathway for foreign entrepreneurs to launch and grow their startups in the United States. To qualify for the visa, entrepreneurs must demonstrate that they have significant ownership in a U.S. startup that has received investment from a qualified U.S. investor or government entity. Additionally, they must show that their startup will create significant U.S. economic benefits through job creation, revenue generation, or other factors. The program aims to attract talented foreign entrepreneurs to the U.S. and promote economic growth by creating new jobs and fostering innovation. An experienced U.S. immigration attorney can assist entrepreneurs in navigating the application process and ensuring that they meet all eligibility requirements.
