Q: Does my business need to be U.S.-based already?
A: No. We help you plan or transition your business to U.S. markets as part of your petition.
Q: Is this different from the EB2 with PERM?
A: Yes. The NIW waives the labor certification and job offer requirement, allowing you to self-petition.
Q: What kind of background or profession qualifies?
A: A wide range of professionals can qualify — including entrepreneurs, tech founders, medical professionals, researchers, and business consultants — if their work has substantial merit and national importance.
Q: What if I don’t have a master’s degree?
A: If you can show exceptional ability in your field (through awards, letters, publications, etc.), you may still qualify even without an advanced degree.
