The NIW is part of the EB-2 visa category, which is designed for individuals with exceptional abilities or advanced degrees.

Benefits of NIW:

No Labor Certification Required: Unlike traditional employment-based visas, the NIW waives the labor certification process, which typically requires proof that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position.

Self-Petitioning: Applicants do not need an employer to sponsor them; they can file independently.

Focus on National Interest: The primary requirement is that the applicant's work must substantially benefit the U.S., particularly in critical fields such as healthcare, technology, and education.

The National Interest Waiver presents a promising opportunity for TPS holders seeking to establish permanent residency in the United States, especially if they can substantiate their qualifications and the national significance of their work.
