Two Exceptional Ability EB-2 Pathways to Permanent Residence

EB-2: Advanced Degree or Exceptional Ability (Employer Sponsored)

For individuals with a master’s degree or higher—or a bachelor’s plus five years of progressive experience—who have a valid job offer and an approved PERM labor certification.

EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW)

For individuals whose work benefits the U.S. economy, health, education, environment, or national security. This option waives the job offer and labor certification requirement if your contributions are deemed in the “national interest.”

We handle both paths with precision, helping you document your achievements, secure employer sponsorship if needed, or prove your value to the nation through NIW eligibility.

Call 516-208-2060 for a personalized eligibility assessment.

I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude for Michelle Dinits. Michelle did not just see me as a case number but a person who she truly supported and kept calm throughout the entire process. She made an incredibly complex process feel manageable and with her help, I was granted my green card . I would highly recommend Michelle, she will give excellent legal expertise and the compassion you deserve.

As a mother, there is nothing harder than watching your child and their partner go through a period of intense stress and uncertainty. When my son and his wife decided to settle here on Long Island, we were all so happy, but the immigration process felt like a mountain standing in the way of their future. My daughter-in-law was understandably terrified of the F1 visa transition, and my son was just as anxious, knowing how much they both had to lose. Finding Michelle Dinits was the greatest blessing our family could have asked for. From our very first interaction, it was clear that Michelle didn't just see them as clients—she cared for them like family. She truly took my daughter-in-law under her wing, calming her fears with patience and expert guidance. She transformed a process that felt frightening and overwhelming into a clear manageable path. Watching the weight lift off their shoulders after each interaction with Michelle was heartwarming. From residency to the Green Card, Michelle brought our entire family such peace of mind. She is more than just a brilliant attorney; she is a compassionate advocate who understands the heart behind the paperwork. We are eternally grateful to her for keeping our family together.

There are not enough stars here for Dinits Law. As an engineer, I tend to overanalyze every detail. I interviewed at least five different immigration attorneys before finding Michelle. While others simply listed forms and fees, Michelle was the only one who articulated the entire process with absolute clarity and mastery. I was truly impressed and asked her to represent us on the spot. Our family’s journey involved my daughter-in-law who came to the USA as an F1 visa student. My son and her fell in love and after about two years, married here on Long Island. It was a high-stakes process for them. They both found 'their person' and were terrified of a single mistake jeopardizing their future together. Michelle did far more than provide legal counsel. She took my daughter-in-law under her wing. Through conference calls and meticulous preparation, she turned a frightening legal hurdle into a manageable, step-by-step path. Michele “held their hands” from the initial residency request through the Green Card approval, and we are now awaiting the time when she can take her citizenship interview. We are thrilled! The level of care, patience, and genuine humanity Michelle brought to my son and daughter-in-law’s case is something money cannot buy. We owe her a profound everlasting debt of gratitude for protecting our family’s future. If you want an attorney who combines elite legal expertise with true compassion, look no further than Dinits Law.

I had a great experience working with Michelle as my immigration lawyer, especially when responding to my RFE (Request for Evidence). She was very knowledgeable, thorough, and attentive to every detail. Michelle clearly explained what documents were needed and guided me step by step through the entire process, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters.

Michelle is a Godsend! After my visa application failed with other lawyers, I was completely stressed and ready to give up. Then I found Michelle—a true blessing. The green card process is notoriously difficult and high-stakes, but Michelle's expertise and support gave me back my confidence. She is profoundly knowledgeable and a true professional. She didn't just "take my file"—she took me through the entire journey. What should have been agonizing was instead seamless, pleasant, and totally stress-free. Michelle was there every single step of the way, highly responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. I got my green card in a short time with absolutely zero hiccups! The process was painless because she made it her priority. Michelle is the best decision you will ever make.

Frequently Asked Questions About EB-2 and NIW

What is the difference between EB-2 and EB-1?

EB-2 is for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability, while EB-1 targets top-tier global achievers such as executives or researchers with international acclaim.

Do I need a job offer?

Most EB-2 applicants require a job offer and PERM certification, but National Interest Waiver (NIW) applicants may self-petition.

What are the current processing times?

EB-2 petitions typically take 8–14 months for USCIS review, with premium processing available for NIW since 2023. Adjustment of Status depends on visa number availability.

Can my family come with me?

Yes—your spouse and unmarried children under 21 may apply as derivatives for permanent residence.

What if the visa cap is reached?

If EB-2 numbers run out for your country, your petition remains valid and processing resumes once new numbers become available (each fiscal year beginning October 1).
