Applying for EB-2 NIW while working in a field that has not been highlighted as a national priority

Here’s a post by immigration lawyer Amber Davis on applying for EB-2 NIW while working in a field that has not been highlighted as a national priority:

Filed a couple of NIWs last week.

One for a client who works in banking and specializes in digital analytics.

His proposed endeavor? Improving the integrity and security of the U.S. financial system.

That being said, if you’re in a non-STEM field like anything finance related, getting an NIW approval might be more difficult as USCIS tends to favor STEM graduates in fields that have directly been highlighted as being national priorities.

You can still build a strong case - you just need to work on your proposed endeavor statement.
