Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between EB-1 and EB-2 NIW?
EB-1 is for individuals at the very top of their field (extraordinary ability, outstanding researchers, or multinational managers). EB-2 NIW is for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability whose work benefits the US national interest. EB-1 has a higher evidentiary standard but may have priority date advantages for some nationalities. Both allow self-petitioning without employer sponsorship in certain subcategories.
Do I need a job offer for EB-2 NIW?
No! That's the key advantage of the EB-2 National Interest Waiver. USCIS waives the normal requirements for a job offer and PERM labor certification if you can demonstrate that granting the waiver serves US national interest. This means you can self-petition while continuing your current job anywhere in the world.
How long does the EB-2 NIW petition process take?
SecondEagle's case preparation typically takes 6 weeks. After filing the I-140 petition, USCIS processing time under regular processing is approximately 6–12 months. Premium processing (Form I-907) can reduce this to 45 business days for an additional USCIS fee of $2,805. India and China-born applicants may face priority date backlogs for the final green card, but an approved I-140 provides significant benefits including extended H-1B status.
What fields qualify for EB-2 NIW?
The EB-2 NIW is available to professionals from virtually any field — healthcare, science, engineering, education, business, technology, arts, public policy, and more. The key is demonstrating that your work has substantial merit and national importance to the United States, and that you are well-positioned to continue advancing this work. Our advisors have helped professionals from over 30 countries across all major disciplines.
Is SecondEagle a law firm?
No. SecondEagle Immigration & Career Advisors is an immigration and career advisory firm, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice. We assist clients with document preparation, profile evaluation, strategy, and petition support. For legal representation or legal advice, we recommend consulting with a licensed US immigration attorney. Many of our clients work with both our advisory service and an immigration attorney for a comprehensive approach.
What are the fees for SecondEagle's services?
Our consultancy fee for EB-2 NIW services is case-dependent, typically ranging from $4,500 to $5,500 based on case complexity and the scope of support required. Fees are payable in two installments: a non-refundable upfront fee, with the balance due upon petition filing. USCIS filing fees ($1,015 for I-140) are separate and paid directly to USCIS by the client. Optional premium processing costs an additional $2,805 USCIS fee. We offer transparent contracts with clear terms — no hidden charges. Contact us for a free evaluation and a precise fee quote tailored to your case.
