Frequently Asked Questions

1.Do I need to complete pilot programs before filing EB-2 NIW?

 While ongoing pilots can support petitions, completed programs with measurable results provide stronger evidence of national importance, with the January 2025 USCIS guidance emphasizing demonstrated outcomes over theoretical projections.

2.How do I connect my pilot program to national importance?

 Link pilot results to federal priorities through government reports, policy documents, and industry data showing how your specific outcomes address broader national challenges in areas like healthcare, infrastructure, or economic growth.

3.What metrics should I document from pilot programs?

 Document quantifiable outcomes including cost reductions, efficiency improvements, job creation, adoption rates, revenue impact, or measurable benefits to target populations with independent third party validation wherever possible.

4.Can small scale pilots prove national importance? 

Yes, small successful pilots demonstrate proof of concept and scalability potential, with USCIS evaluating whether limited implementations address problems with national scope rather than requiring nationwide deployment before approval.

5.How many pilot programs do I need for EB-2 NIW approval?

 Quality matters more than quantity, with one well documented pilot showing clear national benefits often sufficient, though multiple implementations across different contexts can strengthen evidence of broader applicability and impact.
