Effective January 15, 2025, USCIS updated its policy guidance on evaluating EB-2 petitions with national interest waiver (NIW) requests. The update clarifies requirements for advanced degree professionals and individuals with exceptional ability, detailing how their qualifications and proposed endeavors are assessed. It also explains how USCIS evaluates evidence, such as support letters and business plans, to determine national importance and the petitioner’s ability to advance their endeavor.
This guidance, effective immediately, applies to all pending and future requests, superseding previous policies.
