15 Miss. Code. R. 9-98-1.1.1
Current through September 24, 2024
The employment based second-preference Worker Visa Preference Category (EB-2) allows individuals of exceptional ability and individuals who are members of professions holding advanced degrees to obtain a green card (United States permanent residence). For EB-2s a job offer and a labor certification is generally required. This requirement can be waived if the petitioner demonstrates to the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) that granting the EB-2 petition would be in the national interest of the United States. The Physician National Interest Waiver (NIW) may be granted by the USCIS to a physician that agrees to work for a period of five (5) years in a designated underserved area.
