The EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) is a visa category that allows professionals with exceptional abilities or those working in areas of national interest of the United States to request a waiver of the job offer requirement.

To do so, it is essential to prove that your publications have relevance and impact in your field. This includes gathering documents that demonstrate the acceptance and use of your publications by the academic community, such as copies of articles in reputable journals, relevant citations, and letters from independent experts.

Metrics such as citation indexes, impact factor, and h-index also strengthen your case. Additionally, demonstrate how your publications contribute to advancements related to the national interests of the USA.

Be sure to rigorously follow immigration regulations by seeking updated information and specialized support, presenting solid and consistent evidence aligned with official criteria, without promising guarantees regarding the final outcome of the process.
