The Dhanasar 3-Prong Test

Do you qualify for EB2-NIW?

USCIS evaluates every National Interest Waiver under three prongs. Meet all three and you qualify.

Prong 1

Substantial Merit & National Importance

Your work has substantial merit and broader implications for the U.S. — in STEM, healthcare, AI, climate, business, education, the arts, or entrepreneurship.

Prong 2

Well Positioned to Advance the Endeavor

Your education, skills, record of success, and a credible plan show you can actually move the work forward.

Prong 3

Beneficial to Waive Job Offer & Labor Cert

On balance, the U.S. benefits from waiving the job offer and PERM labor certification requirement in your case.

EB2-NIW FAQ

Can I self-petition the EB2-NIW without an employer?+

Yes. The NIW waives the job offer and PERM requirement, so you can self-petition without sponsorship.

Do I need a PhD to qualify?+

No. A Master's, or a Bachelor's plus 5 years of progressive experience, can qualify under EB-2. Many entrepreneurs and STEM professionals approve without a PhD.

How long does EB2-NIW take?+

I-140 typically takes 6–12 months under regular processing, or ~45 days with Premium Processing. Final green card timing depends on country of birth and visa bulletin.

What if I get an RFE?+

RFEs are common and beatable. We build petitions to anticipate them and have a dedicated RFE response strategy that has overturned denials.
