Helping Clients Nationwide Obtain NIWs - (312) 471-0014

A national interest waiver (NIW) is a petition you can file when applying for an employment-based, second-preference visa – also known as the EB-2 visa. An NIW allows aliens to obtain an EB-2 without the otherwise-required labor certification.

Our Illinois immigration attorney at Panteva Law Group, LLC can help you seek this waiver no matter where you are located. Our firm serves clients throughout the U.S. and is eager to help you secure the visa you need to further your career here in America.
