Are you a UAE-based entrepreneur or business owner looking for a faster, more direct way to secure a U.S. Green Card?
With the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) program, qualified applicants can achieve permanent residency in as little as 45 days — without the need for U.S. employer sponsorship or investment capital.
In this article, we’ll explain how the EB-2 NIW works, why it’s ideal for UAE business leaders, and how Kameli Law can guide you every step of the way.
What Is the EB-2 NIW?
The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) is a special category within the U.S. immigration system designed for individuals whose professional work or business success benefits the national interest of the United States.
Unlike traditional U.S. visas, the EB-2 NIW allows qualified applicants to self-petition — meaning you don’t need a U.S. employer to sponsor you.
It’s an excellent path for entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals with strong business track records, innovative ideas, or international trade achievements.
For UAE business owners, the EB-2 NIW is one of the most strategic and flexible routes to a U.S. Green Card.
Why the EB-2 NIW Is Ideal for UAE Entrepreneurs
Faster Processing — 45 Days Possible
With premium processing, the EB-2 NIW petition can be approved in as little as 15–45 days. Kameli Law has helped numerous clients achieve approvals within this timeframe.
No Employer Sponsorship Required
Applicants can self-petition, which means you control your application — no need for a job offer or U.S. company to sponsor your visa.

If your business activities contribute to trade, innovation, or U.S. economic growth, you may qualify. This includes entrepreneurs engaged in:
- Import/export and international trade

How the EB-2 NIW Process Works
- Eligibility Evaluation
Start with a free case review to confirm if you meet the EB-2 NIW criteria.
Kameli Law’s legal team will analyze your business success, leadership role, and potential impact on U.S. industries or trade.
- Filing the Petition
Once eligibility is confirmed, Kameli Law will prepare and file your I-140 petition with USCIS.
Your petition includes documentation of your business accomplishments, innovation, and contributions to the U.S. national interest.
- Approval and Green Card Processing
After USCIS approval, you can proceed with adjustment of status or consular processing to obtain your Green Card — allowing you and your family to live, work, and build your future in the U.S.
