This is a method for obtaining permanent residence that is very appealing to physicians and scientists. It is a direct route to permanent residency which bypasses the U.S. Department of Labor’s Labor Certification process (see PERM labor certification).
The hurdle in the National Interest Waiver process lies right in its title. The physician or scientists who apply through this program must demonstrate that the work that they are performing is in the “National Interest.”
Call us at 800-753-1399 to find out whether or not you are eligible for a National Interest Waiver.

First Preference Classification Based on Extraordinary Ability
Doctors who are able to demonstrate extraordinary ability in the field of science may file an I-140 Petition without employer sponsorship, seeking the employment based first preference classification. If the doctor submits the petition without a sponsoring employer, the doctor must demonstrate that he or she is coming to the United States to continue work in his or her area of expertise. Evidence of such intent includes a letter from a prospective employer, documentation of prearranged commitments or a personal statement detailing plans on how the doctor intends to continue work in the United States.
