EB-2 NIW for Foreign Aircraft Maintenance Engineers & Technicians
The aviation industry is grappling with a significant shortage of qualified personnel in aircraft systems, exacerbated by the need for proper certification. This presents a unique opportunity for foreign Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMES) and Technicians with the skills and experience in inspection and maintenance that the US desperately needs.
Here's the good news: you can leverage your expertise to secure a green card through the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) program. This program allows qualifying foreign professionals to bypass the traditional employer sponsorship requirement for green cards.
Highlights of the EB-2 NIW Program
The EB-2 NIW program offers foreign professionals and their dependents a straightforward pathway to green card and US citizenship without the need to secure a job offer there. To qualify for the program, the applicant must demonstrate:
-
- They either possess exceptional ability or an advanced degree relevant to their expertise;
- Their proposed endeavour is of substantial merit and national importance;
- They are well-positioned to conduct the project; and
- On balance, it would be beneficial to the USA to waive the job offer requirement of a job offer.
