The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed new regulations that may significantly alter how the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) evaluates EB-1A, EB-1B, and EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) applications. These changes are expected to take effect in 2026 and aim to modernize the criteria and evidentiary requirements for these visa categories.
Key Details:
- Proposed updates include modernized criteria for EB-1A and EB-1B categories.
- New evidentiary requirements for EB-2 NIW cases to enhance clarity.
- Reformed guidelines specifically for physicians recognized nationally or internationally.
- Corrections to outdated provisions to streamline the application process.
These proposed changes could necessitate stronger documentation and more consistent organization of evidence for applicants, potentially affecting their chances of approval.
