Fort Pierce Immigration FAQ

I'm a marine scientist on J-1 or H-1B — can I get a green card?

Often through the EB-2 National Interest Waiver, which lets researchers whose work serves U.S. interests self-petition without an employer; J-1 holders may need a waiver first. We map the path.

What evidence supports an EB-2 NIW for a researcher?

Publications, citations, peer review, grants, and the real-world impact and importance of your research. We build the petition around your specific record and field.
