A. Not to be confused with a waiver of inadmissibility sometimes granted for family-based Visas, a National Interest Waiver involves an employment-based EB-2 Visa. A National Interest Waiver waives the requirement that an EB-2 Visa applicant first have a permanent job offer and labor certification. With the waiver, an individual can self-petition for a Visa without having a specific job offer. A National Interest Waiver may be granted to a researcher or professional with an advanced degree or exceptional ability who can prove that granting the waiver would benefit the U.S. and be in the “national interest of the United States.” Lozano Law Firm - Abogados de Inmigración 5718 University Heights Blvd #104, San Antonio, TX 78249 (210) 899-2290 https://www.AbogadoLozano.com/
