Picking a Niche for EB-2 NIW

Post (source):

If you’re considering NIW, consider niching down on a specific area in your field.

Bonus points if it’s an area that aligns with the administrations’ national priorities and initiatives.

Don’t present yourself as a generalist (something I tell potential applicants all the time).

Instead, show how you are already or are about to engage in work that shows that you’re niching down on an area that is of national importance.
