Legal Considerations for EB-2 NIW Entrepreneurs
Are you considering starting a business under an EB-2 NIW visa? The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa is a unique immigration pathway for highly skilled professionals seeking to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship. Unlike the traditional EB-2 visa, the NIW permits self-petitioning based on the proposition that the applicant's work is in the national interest of the United States. For the entrepreneurs and business professionals, this can be a good option. However, several important factors need to be taken into account when it comes to legal and regulatory issues.
