For an EB-2 NIW petition to get approved, you have to show that your case qualifies for National Interest Waiver. Generally, the EB-2 NIW petitions require higher standard to get approved than EB-2 petitions.

You should go for an EB-2 NIW category if you fulfill the basic requirements. If you are doubtful or need help filing your visa petition, you can contact Sethi and Mazaheri Law firm.
