I work with antifraud investigations for large banks. Could this be NIW?

Yes, working with antifraud investigations for large banks can be compatible with the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver), the green card path in which a professional requests a waiver of the job offer and labor certification by showing that their work serves the national interest of the United States.

The key point is not the job title itself, but the merit and reach of your work. Fighting financial fraud connects to the security and stability of the banking system, something that can be presented as a relevant benefit to the country. What decides the case is your ability to evidence that impact concretely.

• Antifraud methods, tools, or policies that you helped create.
• Measurable results in preventing losses and protecting financial systems.
• Letters from experts and industry references attesting to the relevance of your work.

Each petition is reviewed individually by the competent authority, so there is no guaranteed profile. It is worth checking the current requirements and reviewing your background with a specialist before filing, in order to build a consistent argument aligned with the rules in force.
