I want to start a company in the ecotourism sector. Is it NIW?

The EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa is aimed at professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities who demonstrate substantial contribution and national impact in the US, waiving the traditional job offer requirement.

For ecotourism companies, the project must demonstrate innovation, detailed planning, and clear benefits to sustainability, the economy, and the environment that exceed local interest.

Each case is evaluated individually and the mere intention to start a company in this sector does not guarantee qualification. It is essential to follow current immigration laws and seek specialized assistance to avoid risks and fraud.

A thorough analysis of the project and experience is crucial to verify compliance with EB-2 NIW criteria, ensuring safety and compliance throughout the process.
