Unlike the employer-supported immigration pathway, NIW allows applicants to apply independently without proof of employment or employer sponsorship, which greatly simplifies the application process and provides a convenient path for professionals who have made significant contributions in research, education, business, and other fields to apply for a green card based on the applicant’s commitment to the national interest of the United States. Then in the trial of the NIW project, what specific aspects of “national interest exemption” will be referred to?
In-depth analysis of NIW evaluation criteria:
1. Evidence of significant national interest: The applicant’s work must demonstrate a significant national interest to the United States. This may involve solving critical problems or driving progress in areas such as science, technology, social services, etc.
2. The applicant’s professional status: The applicant needs to prove his or her leading position in his or her professional field, for example, by providing evidence such as award records, patent certificates, media reports, membership of professional associations, and papers.
3.Grounds for exemption of the Labour certificate: The applicant must explain why the requirement for exemption of the Labour certificate is reasonable for his case. This often means that the applicant’s work is so urgent and so vital to the national interest that traditional recruitment processes may not be conducive to the work.
4. Education and professional experience: Although NIW does not have strict educational requirements, applicants should generally have an advanced degree or corresponding professional experience to demonstrate their ability to perform the proposed work.
5. Professional achievements: Other achievements in the applicant’s field of expertise, such as professional awards, leadership in the industry, contributions to public policy or industry standards, are also important aspects of evaluation.
6. Application Strategy: Successful application for NIW requires strong evidence to support the applicant to meet the above criteria. This includes preparing professional references, detailed personal statements, and relevant supporting documents.Applicants need to clearly articulate how their work meets the three NIW criteria and identify their potential contribution to the United States.
The above is a rough analysis of the specific aspects from which the “national interest exemption” will be referenced in the trial of the NIW project. In addition, it is recommended that applicants carefully prepare application materials under the guidance of professional organizations after in-depth understanding of these criteria to improve the success rate of NIW applications.
