Expert Opinion Letter for EB-2 VISA

The Employment-Based Second Preference visa, or EB-2, is reserved for individuals who exhibit exceptional ability. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate their extraordinary skills by meeting certain criteria, such as significant achievements and recognitions in their field. Notably, these high achievers are not required to obtain a labor certification.

The necessary documentation to prove exceptional ability typically includes:

• Awards or recognition for significant contributions to their field
• Membership in relevant professional associations
• Professional licenses
• Evidence of receiving a high salary in their field

We offer comprehensive support in your EB-2 NIW Application process through our EB-2 NIW Business Plan / EB-2 NIW Professional Plan.

All employment-based visa categories, including EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3, necessitate the submission of Form I-140.

While possessing expertise is critical, alone it is insufficient for a National Interest Waiver (NIW). Applicants must show that their contributions have a wide-reaching benefit to society.

In conclusion, expertise is vital, but the key to NIW eligibility is demonstrating that the applicant’s work has significant practical implications nationally. Applicants must lead initiatives that showcase their role as key contributors with ideas that benefit the nation, thereby justifying the waiver of the labor certification requirement.
