What are EB-1A-NIW
They are two paths to permanent residence where you file your own petition, without an employer sponsoring you. What you must prove differs for each one.
NIW (exención por interés nacional).
Requires an advanced degree or exceptional ability. It assesses whether your work has national importance, whether you are well positioned to advance it, and whether it benefits the U.S. to waive the job offer.
There is no “better” path. The right one depends on your profile and is defined in the consultation.
Who it is for
It is worth evaluating your case if:
You have a university or graduate degree and solid experience in your field.
You have published, won awards or been in the media for your work.
You have led teams, projects or companies with measurable impact.
You have been a judge, reviewer or evaluator of other professionals’ work.
Your work is valuable in a field of interest to the U.S., such as technology, health, engineering, research or business.
You don’t have to meet every point. Your achievements count wherever you earned them.
