Understanding National Interest for EB-2 NIW with an Immigration Attorney

​The EB-2 NIW isn’t about being the “best” in your field - it’s about showing that your work matters to the United States. But the concept of “national interest” is often vague and misunderstood.

In this webinar, we explain how USCIS applies the National Interest Waiver framework and what makes an NIW argument succeed. You’ll learn how to frame your work, position your background, and avoid common mistakes that lead to RFEs or denials.

If you’re considering EB-2 NIW, or wondering whether your work qualifies, this session provides a clear foundation.
