If you’re a researcher or PhD considering the EB-2 NIW pathway, you’ve likely encountered misconceptions about what it takes to succeed. Let’s clear the air and refocus on what truly matters.
Myth 1: You Need Extensive Publications and Citations
Many believe you need a lengthy publication record or hundreds of citations to qualify. The truth? USCIS prioritizes the impact of your work over the quantity. A few high-quality contributions, when framed strategically, can demonstrate national importance just as effectively.
Myth 2: Only Exceptional Profiles Are Considered
While groundbreaking achievements help, the EB-2 NIW isn’t reserved for the “elite.” It’s about aligning your contributions and future endeavors with U.S. priorities. Even modest profiles can shine with a well-structured petition.
Myth 3: You’re on Your Own to Write the Petition
Drafting a strong petition requires more than just technical knowledge—it demands strategic storytelling. This is where expert support makes all the difference. Our petitions are compiled by a team that includes PhDs, ensuring a precise, technically sound presentation of your achievements and proposed endeavor.
Why Preparation Matters
USCIS looks for petitions that clearly demonstrate two key elements:
- National Importance
How does your work contribute to U.S. priorities? - Capability to Deliver
Are you well-positioned to advance your proposed endeavor?
Building a petition that addresses these questions isn’t just about following a checklist—it’s about presenting your story in a way that resonates with decision-makers.
Expert Support
With some firms charging upwards of $6,000 for researchers and PhDs, high-quality services can seem out of reach. That’s why we focus on providing expert-driven petition preparation—comprehensive yet economical—ensuring accessibility without compromise.
For researchers and PhDs, the EB-2 NIW isn’t just a possibility—it’s an achievable goal with the right guidance and preparation.
