The recent March 2026 Visa Bulletin indicates that the EB2 category for the Rest of the World (ROW) is current, raising concerns among immigration experts about a potential influx of National Interest Waiver (NIW) applications from unqualified candidates. Tania Glowinski Gonzalez, an immigration attorney, cautions that many may feel pressured to file without a strong case, reminiscent of the 2024 election period when similar trends led to increased requests for evidence (RFEs) and denials.
Key Details:
- EB2 ROW category is currently open for applications as of March 2026.
- Increased filings may lead to a rise in RFEs and denials due to low-quality submissions.
- NIW approval rates have significantly decreased over the past two years.
- Applicants are advised to consult with immigration attorneys to assess their eligibility before filing.
This situation may impact many prospective immigrants who might rush their applications without adequate preparation. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
