Un ciudadano extranjero con un título avanzado o una habilidad excepcional puede solicitar la residencia permanente en los Estados Unidos a través de la Visa de Segunda Preferencia Basada en el Empleo (EB-2). La elegibilidad EB-2 significa que el solicitante debe tener uno de los siguientes:
Una persona a la que se le otorgue un EB-2 I-140 será elegible para solicitar una tarjeta verde cuando su fecha de prioridad esté vigente.
Si bien se puede solicitar un EB-2 NIW con el patrocinio del empleador, una persona también puede presentar una autopetición.
La Exención por Interés Nacional (NIW, por sus siglas en inglés) es una opción de inmigración basada en el empleo que permite a los inmigrantes calificados solicitar por sí mismos la residencia permanente (una tarjeta verde) sin el patrocinio del empleador. Esta exención ofrece una oportunidad única para las personas cuyo trabajo podría aportar un inmenso valor a los Estados Unidos. Al renunciar a los requisitos habituales de patrocinio del empleador y certificación laboral, el NIW simplifica el proceso. Sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta que la obtención de una visa EB-2 con un NIW todavía requiere cumplir con todos los demás requisitos EB-2.
Calificar para la clasificación EB-2 no significa automáticamente que el autopeticionario sea elegible para una Exención por Interés Nacional. El peticionario debe demostrar que la renuncia es de interés nacional. Los solicitantes deben demostrar que su trabajo en los EE. UU. mejoraría considerablemente la economía nacional, los intereses culturales o educativos, el bienestar u otros intereses de los EE. UU. La carga de la prueba recae en el peticionario o en el auto peticionario.
Para calificar para el NIW, el solicitante debe cumplir con los siguientes criterios:
Los oficiales de USCIS evalúan a cada solicitante caso por caso, lo que significa que el proceso de la Exención por Interés Nacional EB-2 es altamente subjetivo.
Los siguientes son algunos tipos comunes de solicitantes que solicitan un NIW. La clave de todos ellos es que las habilidades excepcionales que ofrece el solicitante son de interés nacional de los Estados Unidos.
Muchas personas pueden calificar para un NIW, pero obtener uno es un proceso intensivo en documentos que requiere la debida diligencia y estrategia.
