TESTIMONIALS
How the Green Card has changed people's lives
With the Green Card, my family and I were able to live and work in the United States without restrictions, which allowed us to access various opportunities. Additionally, this achievement provided us with a strong sense of belonging and identity with American values and culture.. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Many of my dreams came true after receiving my Green Card. I graduated from a communication college here in the USA with a scholarship based on grades and my status as a permanent resident. Today, I have my dream job, career prospects, and access to credit opportunities due to lower interest rates. My quality of life and health have improved 100%
I obtained my Green Card at a stage in my career when I had already proven myself. It was then a life plan to better support my children, who receive a top-notch education here. Today in Silicon Valley, I engage in projects that I choose and that develop my intellect. And with my daily surfing in the Pacific, I maintain a healthier lifestyle.
With my Green Card, I had the opportunity to move to a new country, where I could challenge myself personally and professionally. It's an incredible experience to realize what your potential is when you are immersed in a completely different culture. Moving to the United States also gave me and my family the opportunity to live in many different cities and finally settle in a smaller town, where we can live closer to nature, yet still have the infrastructure of a big city.
The Green Card has definitely transformed our lives. I am a mother of two boys, we live safely in Florida, and we own our own business. In our line of work, a special license is required to operate, and we could not obtain this license without the Green Card. We now have access to credit and numerous other advantages. My children attend an excellent school and there are many opportunities available to them. We are grateful to live in a country where hard work and determination are the biggest factors in achieving goals and reaching success. But for me, the most important thing of all is knowing that my family lives free and safe.

Autonomy! The main difference is that the EB2 NIW allows individuals to apply for a Green Card themselves without needing a job offer or an American to sponsor them.
There are 2 types of EB-2 NIW eligibility criteria, objective and subjective.
For the objective criteria, it must be proven that you have at least:
- A Master’s, or PhD, or a Bachelor’s degree plus 5 years of experience. These are proven through diplomas and letters of recommendation proving the length of your career experience; or
- 10 years of experience in your field. Here the American immigration requires proof of at least 3 of the following 7 criteria: (i) Academic record showing that you hold a degree, certificate or similar related to your area of exceptional ability; (ii) Letters of recommendation documenting at least 10 years of experience; (iii) License to practice your profession or certification for your profession or occupation; (iv) Evidence that you have received a salary or other compensation for services that demonstrates your exceptional ability; (v) membership with professional associations; (vi) Recognition from your peers, government entities, or professional or business organizations of your achievements and significant contributions to your industry or field,; and/or (vii) Other comparable evidence of eligibility is also acceptable.
As for the subjective criteria, your case must demonstrate why it is in the US national interest to accept you as a professional without a job offer from an American employer. This national interest must be demonstrated by arguing that:
Your proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national significance.
- You are well qualified to push the proposed endeavor forward.
- All things considered, it would be beneficial for the United States to waive the requirements for a job offer.
Therefore, talking to Green about your eligibility is essential, as we will help you build the best case ,from the beginning to the end of the process.
Don’t worry about the term exceptional! This fear of not qualifying prevents many people from researching the EB-2 NIW more deeply and following through with their dreams. Exceptional ability, in this case, means that you must be able to demonstrate that you are a talented person and that your professional activity is considered to be of significant importance to the economy, science, culture, health or safety of the United States. You don’t need to be an Olympic medalist, Oscar winner, or the inventor of a cure for a rare disease!
Any professional field can qualify for the EB-2 NIW as long as the candidate demonstrates their skills in their field and their work is of national interest to the United States.
