Under EB-2 NIW, the visa does not require your work to be fundamental or irreplaceable to the digital transformation of healthcare. What is evaluated is the merit and relevance of your contribution, assessed on a case-by-case basis by the competent authority. The strategy, then, is to gather evidence that shows originality and concrete impact.

Combining different types of proof helps build a consistent narrative of the value of your work.

  • Publications, patents, or registrations that document your innovations in healthcare digitalization.
  • Practical results of your solutions in real-world settings, such as hospitals or health systems.
  • Partnerships with recognized institutions, both domestically and internationally.
  • Recommendation letters from experts and leaders attesting to the importance of your work.

Base everything on solid facts and documentation, in compliance with United States immigration laws. Since each profile is assessed individually, it is worth verifying updated requirements with USCIS and evaluating your case with a specialist before filing a petition.
