National Interest Waiver for Doctors and Scientists

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.”

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.
