National Interest Waiver (NIW) Attorney in Chicago

The National Interest Waiver (NIW) is an EB-2 subcategory that allows qualified individuals to self-petition for a green card without employer sponsorship or PERM labor certification. At Liberum Law, our NIW attorneys in Chicago help professionals across STEM, healthcare, business, and other fields build compelling NIW petitions under the Matter of Dhanasar framework.

Under Dhanasar, you must demonstrate that your proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance, that you are well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor based on your education, skills, knowledge, and track record, and that on balance, it would benefit the United States to waive the job offer and PERM requirements.

The NIW is particularly valuable for researchers, scientists, engineers, physicians, entrepreneurs, and other professionals whose work benefits the United States broadly. Our attorneys craft petition narratives that clearly connect your professional achievements to the national interest, supported by recommendation letters, publications, citations, patents, and other evidence.

Our NIW practice includes detailed eligibility assessment, strategic endeavor framing, evidence compilation and organization, petition narrative drafting, recommendation letter coordination, and response to Requests for Evidence (RFEs).
