An EB-2 Visa is an employment-based visa for second-preference workers—individuals who are professionals and hold advanced degrees or who have exceptional abilities. There are three categories for EB-2 visas:
1. EB-2 A: Advanced Degree
2. EB-2 B: Exceptional Ability
3. EB-2 C: National Interest Waiver
EB-1 visas are for individuals who can demonstrate extraordinary ability. To prove extraordinary ability, you must meet a certain set of criteria such as recognized prizes, published material in major publications, or proof of original contributions in your field.
The EB-2 NIW does not require you to show your extraordinary ability. This means you do not need to meet the extremely high standard of the EB-1 criteria.
You need to meet at least three of the legal requirements for EB-2
9 to 12 months but If you get a Request for Evidence (RFE), you will need to present more evidence. If USCIS finds your presentation of evidence inefficient, they may deny you a waiver. This extends your NIW processing time.
