I built software that solves accounting problems across multiple companies. How does this relate to Dhanasar?

To connect your software to the EB-2 NIW, the key is to show it has merit and a reach that goes beyond a single company. The Dhanasar framework is the structure the USCIS uses to assess whether your work serves the national interest, always on a qualitative, case-by-case basis.

In practice, it helps to demonstrate that your solution does not simply improve one isolated accounting process, but contributes more broadly: efficiency, accuracy of financial records, transparency, and competitiveness across multiple businesses. The further your impact extends beyond a single client, the stronger the argument for relevance becomes.

• Data and studies showing concrete improvements generated by the software.
• Testimonials from companies and users about the real-world impact of the solution.
• Evidence of adoption and reach across different sectors or regions.

Keep in mind that the EB-2 NIW may waive the job offer requirement when the applicant demonstrates broad benefit, but the criteria are assessed individually. It is worth checking the latest guidance from USCIS or consulting a specialist to frame your case properly under the Dhanasar standard.
