National Interest Waiver (NIW), Possible for Professionals in Marketing and Business?

A National Interest Waiver (NIW) falls in the employment-based, second-preference (EB-2) immigration category. Generally, EB-2 petitions require a full-time job offer and an approved labor certification (so-called “LC”) from a U.S. employer. However, these requirements are waived for the NIW, thus allowing a petitioner/applicant to apply for a green card without a job offer or an approved labor certification from a U.S. employer. For the reasons, the NIW has received much attention from numerous foreigners who seek for permanent resident status in the U.S.

Over the past several years, a general misperception has developed about the NIW: many seem to think that it is only for people holding an advanced degree in a science-related field. It is true that the NIW is popular among people with at least a doctoral degree or professors in a science-related field. However, the NIW is not limited in scope and the only essential requirement of the NIW is to be able to contribute to the national interest of the U.S. For instance, people from marketing and business related fields can also apply for the NIW.

Among the many NIW cases we have handled at our firm, cases related to a marketing or business field are handled quite differently from cases related to a science field that place special emphasis on the number of citations and/or invitations to prestigious conferences. Instead, we focus on the overall effect on the public interest. For instance, a client developed a smartphone application that can check for nearby dog playgrounds, dog-related stores, and dog walking routes. The application soon became very popular in the big cities where many people have dogs but the population density is so high that it is not easy to find suitable dog walking routes. The client subsequently developed several other applications, all of which had a beneficial effect on the public interest. As the client’s applications focused primarily on the public interest, the profit level was not so high. Regardless, we filed a NIW petition on the basis this client has contributed to the communities in the U.S. and would continue to work to make a social contribution to the society at large by developing various applications. This case was approved without any issues.

There are many people who perceive the NIW as an immigration petition for those only working in a science related field. In reality, it is true that most of the approved cases for the NIW are indeed related to a science field. However, in accordance with immigration law, the NIW is not limited to only science related fields. Rather, the NIW is open to any field that is considered to be beneficial to the national interest of the U.S. As such, if you are a leading figure in the fields of marketing or business, you should definitely consider the NIW as a viable immigration option.
