The eligibility Criteria for EB-2 NIW(National Interest Waiver), are

1. a beneficiary or applicant must have an “advanced degree" or
2. exceptional ability” in the sciences, arts or business.

The beneficiary should also demonstrate that he /she seeks employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit to the U.S., that the benefit from the candidate’s proposed activity will be national in scope, and that the requirement of a Labor Certification for the candidate will adversely affect the national interest. Each NIW case is adjudicated on its individual merits, but the burden of proof is always on the applicant or beneficiary to establish that exemption from the labor certification will be in the national interest of the U.S.
