国家利益豁免(NIW)是美国移民法职业移民第二优先(EB2)的一部分。 科学,艺术或商业和高级专业人士(M.A.,M.S.,M.E.,M.D.或Ph.D.)及博士生学生都符合资格。美国政府基于国家利益的考虑,对那些为美国国家利益做出重要贡献的外籍人士,豁免他们的永久性工作的承诺要求及漫长繁琐的劳工证申请,使他们可以直接向移民局提出移民申请获得绿卡。
对于那些不愿意等待几年劳工卡的人,国家利益豁免申请的最有利条件就是:即无需美国雇主,无需雇主提供永久性工作承诺,无需劳工证申请之烦琐,直接提出移民申请。而且,即使没有雇主,或没有雇主支持,申请人也可以自己的名义为自己提出移民申请及绿卡申请并获得绿卡。
国家利益豁免也适用于医生。同意在指定的医疗专业人员短缺地区或VA医院全职工作的医师,联邦机构或国家卫生部门已确定医师工作符合公共利益总共五年(不包括持有J1签证的时间)可以获得NIW绿卡。
Impressed beyond infinity
I liked Peter's calm, honest, and balanced approach to our very difficult immigration problem. He is very organized and responsive. He filed both of our cases with the DOS and USCIS promptly and the process went without a hitch. He is very intelligent and knowledgeable, but your success will also depend on your willingness to provide as much information and detail as possible. Peter will be able to organize it in the most effective way. We've just learned that our case was approved. Hoorah!
