EB-2 NIW lets qualified individuals petition for permanent residence without an employer sponsor or PERM labor certification. Visacub turns the Matter of Dhanasar 3-prong framework into a structured AI-DIY workflow — AI-drafted petition letter, per-prong evidence builder, I-140 form generation. $299 per petition vs $5,000+ typical immigration lawyer fee.
什么是 EB-2 NIW？
EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) is a U.S. employment-based green-card category under INA §203(b)(2)(B) that waivesthe standard EB-2 requirements of an employer sponsor and PERM labor certification — when the petitioner's work is in the U.S. national interest.
It is a self-petition category. You file directly. No company has to sponsor you. You can be employed, unemployed, or running your own venture.
Eligibility is determined under Matter of Dhanasar (AAO 2016), which set a three-prong framework that USCIS has applied since. Strong NIW cases satisfy all three prongs with concrete, well-organized evidence.

Dhanasar 三步审批框架
USCIS officers apply this exact framework to every NIW petition. All three prongs must be satisfied — independently, with separate evidence.
实质价值 + 国家重要性
The proposed endeavor must have substantial merit (in business, science, technology, education, the arts, or another field) AND broader importance beyond the petitioner's own work or employer.
拟从事的事业本身要有实质价值（商业、科技、教育、艺术或其他领域），并且其重要性必须超出申请人个人工作或雇主范围。
Typical evidence
有能力推进该事业
The petitioner's education, skills, knowledge, record of success, plan, and progress must show they can plausibly advance the endeavor — not abstract qualifications, but concrete evidence of momentum.
申请人的学历、技能、过往成就、计划与进展必须证明：你确实有能力推进这项事业。USCIS 看的是具体的势头，而非抽象的资质。
Typical evidence
综合权衡，豁免雇主要求对美国有利
The petitioner must show that, on balance, it would benefit the U.S. to waive the standard EB-2 requirements (job offer + PERM labor certification) — typically because requiring labor cert is impractical or contrary to the national interest.
申请人必须说明：综合考量之下，豁免常规 EB-2 要求（雇主担保 + PERM 劳工证）对美国更有利。通常理由是 PERM 流程不切实际，或会损害国家利益。

常见问题
EB-2 NIW 是什么？
EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) is a U.S. employment-based green card that lets qualified individuals self-petition without an employer or PERM labor certification. Eligibility follows the Matter of Dhanasar (AAO 2016) 3-prong framework.
EB-2 NIW（国家利益豁免）是一种美国职业类绿卡，允许符合条件的申请人自行递交申请，不需要雇主担保也不需要 PERM 劳工认证。资格依据 Matter of Dhanasar（2016）三步测试。
NIW 可以自己申请吗？
Yes. NIW is legally a self-petition category — many petitioners successfully file pro se. Visacub's $299 Self-Petition tier provides everything you'd otherwise pay a lawyer $5,000+ to assemble: AI-drafted petition letter mapped to all three Dhanasar prongs, per-prong evidence builder, recommendation letter templates, and I-140 form generation. Visacub does not bundle attorney services — if you want representation, hire a licensed U.S. immigration attorney independently.
可以。NIW 法律上就是 self-petition——很多申请人 pro se 成功递交。Visacub 的 $299 Self-Petition 档提供你本来付 $5,000+ 给律师做的全部材料：按 Dhanasar 三步映射的 AI 申请信、按 prong 整理的证据、推荐信模板、I-140 表格生成。Visacub 不打包律师服务——如果希望律师代理，可以单独请任何持牌美国移民律师。
NIW 和 EB-1A 有什么区别？
Both are self-petition. EB-1A requires the higher 'extraordinary ability' standard (sustained national or international acclaim) judged against 10 regulatory criteria. NIW requires advanced degree or exceptional ability + national interest under the Dhanasar 3 prongs. Many petitioners not eligible for EB-1A succeed under NIW.
两者都是 self-petition。EB-1A 要求"杰出能力"标准更高（持续的国家级/国际认可），按 10 项法规标准评判。NIW 只需要高级学位或特殊能力 + 符合国家利益（Dhanasar 三步）。很多 EB-1A 不够格的申请人在 NIW 下能批。
NIW 申请要多久？
USCIS I-140 adjudication: 6-12 months at standard processing, ~15 days with Premium Processing ($2,805, available for NIW since 2023). Subsequent adjustment of status / consular processing adds 6-24+ months depending on country of birth and visa-bulletin priority dates.
USCIS I-140 审批：标准 6-12 个月，加急（Premium Processing，$2,805，2023 年起 NIW 也可加急）约 15 天。之后调整身份/领事馆处理还要 6-24 个月以上，具体看出生国和移民排期。
Visacub NIW 收多少钱？
Two tiers. Free ($0): Dhanasar 3-prong eligibility check, per-prong match score, no signup required for first analysis. Self-Petition ($299 per petition): AI-drafted NIW petition letter (Dhanasar 3-prong), per-prong evidence builder, recommendation letter templates, I-140 form generation, exhibit indexing, case tracking dashboard. Compare to typical immigration-attorney NIW representation fees of $5,000+. USCIS filing fees ($715 I-140 + optional $2,805 Premium Processing) are separate from Visacub's platform fee.
两档：Free（$0）—— Dhanasar 三步资格评估、按 prong 评分、首次分析无需注册。Self-Petition（$299/petition）—— AI 起草的 NIW 申请信（Dhanasar 三步）、按 prong 整理证据、推荐信模板、I-140 表格生成、证据索引、案件跟踪仪表板。对标移民律师 NIW 代理费 $5,000+。USCIS 申请费（I-140 $715 + 可选加急 $2,805）另算。
