Does having worked in international organizations (UN, WHO) strengthen the case?

The EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa is an option for professionals who wish to demonstrate that their experience and qualifications benefit the United States without the need for a formal job offer. Generally, working in international organizations such as the UN or WHO can be seen as a strong indicator of experience and global recognition. Having served in these organizations can strengthen your case, as it shows you were part of prestigious institutions and that your work had an international impact.

These aspects can be used to demonstrate that you possess unique skills and have made significant contributions to your field, which is one of the criteria evaluated for the EB-2 NIW. However, it is important to remember that the success of the petition depends on a complete analysis of your profile, including your academic background, publications, awards, and how your activities will benefit the United States.

Thus, while experience in international organizations is a positive point, it must be presented along with other robust evidence that proves your ability to promote significant advances in the country. I always emphasize that, in this process, it is essential to strictly follow United States immigration laws. Seeking guidance from experienced professionals and reliable specialists in the field is essential to avoid falling victim to scams or unrealistic promises of quick results.

Each case is unique and should be evaluated comprehensively, considering all aspects of your professional and academic history. I hope to have clarified the importance of this experience within the context of the EB-2 NIW, always remembering that each component of your background must be carefully presented to demonstrate your value in contributing to the national interests of the United States.
