How Mann Law Group helps
The EB-2 national interest waiver lets a qualified professional ask USCIS to waive the job offer and labor certification because their work is in the national interest. You can file it for yourself. Mann Law Group helps you define the proposed endeavor, show its national importance, and prove you are well placed to advance it.
Common services and issues
What to keep in mind
- National importance is about the endeavor's wider impact, not about the importance of your field in general.
- Letters from independent experts help most when they explain specific contributions and their effect.
- Workers born in countries with EB-2 backlogs, such as India and China, can wait years after approval.
- The national interest waiver does not need an employer, but a job offer and plan in the United States still help show that you are well positioned.

Common Questions
Yes. The national interest waiver is a self-petition. You do not need a job offer or PERM labor certification.
Researchers, engineers, physicians, and founders whose work has clear impact beyond one employer are common candidates. The record must show that you are well positioned to advance the work.
It depends on USCIS processing and on the priority-date backlog for your country of birth. We give you a current estimate at the consultation.
