At Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC, we recognize that exceptional talent drives progress. For professionals whose work holds significant value for the United States, the National Interest Waiver (NIW) offers a unique and powerful pathway to permanent residency. Unlike traditional employment-based immigration routes, the NIW allows you to bypass the specific job offer and labor certification requirements, placing the control of your future directly in your hands.
We understand that the complexities of U.S. immigration law can be daunting. Our attorneys provide the supportive and intelligent advocacy you need to prove your work matters to the nation.
The NIW is a subcategory of the EB-2 visa (Second Preference Employment-Based Immigration). Typically, an EB-2 visa requires a specific job offer and a process called PERM Labor Certification, where an employer must prove there are no qualified U.S. workers for the role. The National Interest Waiver allows you to waive these requirements if you can demonstrate that your employment in the U.S. would benefit the nation.
To qualify, you must first meet the basic eligibility requirements for the EB-2 category (holding an advanced degree or possessing exceptional ability). Additionally, you must satisfy a three-prong test established by the administrative decision Matter of Dhanasar. You must show that:
The ability to self-petition is one of the most significant advantages of the NIW.
Building a strong NIW case requires substantial documentation to prove your influence and impact. Our team helps you gather and organize evidence such as:
Securing a National Interest Waiver requires a persuasive legal argument that connects your personal achievements to the broader interests of the United States. It is not enough to simply be good at your job; you must prove your work is critical.
Our attorneys craft intelligent case strategies that highlight your unique value. We meticulously review your credentials, help draft compelling arguments, and ensure your petition adheres to the latest legal standards. We are your partners in this journey, offering compassionate guidance and authoritative representation every step of the way.
Take control of your immigration journey today. Contact Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC to schedule a consultation and discover if the National Interest Waiver is the right path for you.
I had the pleasure of working with Marta Delgado for my immigration petition. From the moment I met with Marta, I felt confident she was the attorney I was looking for after many years of waiting. I was so nervous going into this process, but Marta walked me through the details more than once, giving me so much peace about it all. The process was seamless, and their turnaround time was QUICK! My whole case was started and closed within 10 months. I will always be grateful for their expertise and kindness along the way.
What a wonderful experience I had with Elizabeth and her team. Her professionalism made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the process we went through. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
I went through my Green Card and Citizenship applications with Elizabeth Rompf and every step of the way was fantastic. Incredibly professional, prompt, clear, and very attentive to details. I cannot recommend them enough! They're my absolute top pick for any immigration recommendations!
DRB helped us with securing a work visa for one of our staff members, communicated well, and helped explain the process.
I am full of gratitude while writing this review for Delgado Rompf Bruen Law. Thank you so much Marta for handling my case so beautifully. It has been only your diligence and professionalism in the work which guided my case to success. I am very fortunate to have you as an attorney. With other attorneys I've experienced ones who only took my money and promised to help me or never called me back. You're helping a lot of people with your honesty and great quality of work. I can't thank you enough. Yay, I am an American Citizen!
Elizabeth and her legal team were extremely helpful in my husband's green card case. They had us so prepared that the interview was a piece of cake. We didn't have a single issue. They were quick to reply to any questions we had and were very honest with us about any possible issues we could have. I would highly recommend her and her team.
I began working with Martha after a decade of having my immigration process handled by attorneys that worked for my employers and everything changed immediately. Martha was invested in my personal story and circumstances and took all the time I needed to talk me through the options and process. She was consistently professional, knowledgable, and compassionate. She even leveraged her network to get specific information about my interview site in the Bay Area which was invaluable the day of my naturalization interview. She's the BEST.
I've struggle for over 10 years to get my Permanent Resident status and have been represented by 4 immigration lawyers over that period. The last one I hired and who was able to resolve my immigration case is Elizabeth Rompf Bruen. The contrast of how she handled my case and the other 3 lawyers was obvious from the beginning. She was always available when I wanted to talk to her and provided the updates in my case as soon as she had one. I also noticed a different level of knowledge and expertise in comparison to the other 3 lawyers....
Marta was the most professional, accurate and caring lawyer I’ve encountered in the 6 years I’ve been living in the US, her work ethics are unmatched and without doubt was the best decision for my process. I recommend her to anyone that needs help, you will feel listened and she is incredible when it comes to explaining this procedures in a simple and straight forward manner. She will be my first option again when the time comes in the future.
Elizabeth has been my immigration attorney on multiple cases. She handled my 3 different cases over past 7 years including the recent immigration case that got approval last month. Whenever I need attorney help, the only person I reach out to is Elizabeth. She is knowledgeable and very professional in handling any case. Elizabeth always kept me informed about the status of my case. She is very responsive to my emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
