EB-2 National Interest Waiver · Self-help

See your NIW petition the way USCIS reads it — before you file.

Upload your own petition. PetitionAdvisor measures it against the published USCIS Dhanasar three-prong standard and gives you a clear, honest checklist of what to strengthen. You stay in control of your own filing.

Illustrative example only — not a score, grade, or prediction of approval. Your assessment describes your document against the published USCIS standard.

Honest by design — we never help anyone inflate or invent evidence. We help you present, clearly and completely, what is genuinely true about you.

How it works

Four steps, one honest read.

1

Free safety check

A few quick questions. If your situation needs a licensed attorney, we tell you up front — before any payment.

2

Upload your petition

Add your cover letter, endeavor statement, support letters, and exhibits — whatever you have so far.

3

Measured to the standard

We check it prong by prong against the published USCIS Dhanasar framework, plus document quality.

4

Your action checklist

A clear, prioritized list of what to fix and what to gather — delivered to your inbox.

What you get

  • A document-readiness read against the published standard
  • Prong-by-prong feedback (merit & national importance, well-positioned, on balance)
  • A check of clarity, consistency, and evidence-to-exhibit mapping
  • A complete, prioritized action checklist in plain language

What this is not

  • Not legal advice and not a law firm
  • Not a prediction of approval or denial
  • Not representation — you prepare and file your own petition
  • Not a place to inflate or invent anything; honesty is the strategy

Why it works

Measured against the real standard — in plain language.

The most common reason NIW petitions stumble is arguing the importance of a whole field instead of the broad impact of one specific endeavor. We catch that — and a lot more.

The published rulebook

Your document is read against the Matter of Dhanasar three-prong test and EB-2 eligibility — the same public criteria USCIS uses.

Plain language, any background

Written so a non-native English speaker can act on it. Ask for any part to be explained more simply, or in another language.

Safe and private

Hard cases are routed to a licensed attorney before you pay. Your files are stored privately and deleted within 24 hours of delivery — never used to train AI.

Why the assessment is grounded

Built on the real decision record — not guesswork.

Most NIW guidance is generic. PetitionAdvisor checks your documents against the same three-prong Dhanasar standard USCIS applies, informed by patterns from 3,700+ real AAO decisions. You'll see which parts of your petition are clearly supported and which are thin — in the language of your own field — so you can file with a complete, standard-aligned package.

We won't tell you your odds. No tool honestly can. We'll tell you whether your documents meet the standard and where they fall short — so you decide what to do next.

Questions

Straight answers before you start.

Is this legal advice?

No. PetitionAdvisor is a self-help document service, not a law firm, and does not give legal advice or represent you. We compare your own document to publicly available USCIS standards so you can improve it yourself.

Will you tell me whether my petition will be approved?

No — and be cautious of anyone who claims they can. We assess how your document measures against the published standard and where the gaps are. We never predict approval or denial.

What if I have an RFE, a denial, or a complicated case?

Those situations are time-sensitive and beyond self-help, so our free safety check routes you to a licensed immigration attorney before any payment. That is to protect you, not to brush you off.

Do you write or file the petition for me?

No. You prepare and file your own petition. We help you see what the standard looks for, what your document currently shows, and the concrete steps to close the gap.

Is my information private?

Yes. Your uploaded files are stored privately, used only to produce your assessment, deleted within 24 hours of delivery, and never used to train AI. Treat privacy as a feature, because it is. See our Privacy Policy for details.

What should I upload?

Whatever you have so far — at minimum your petition or cover letter. Ideally also your endeavor statement, CV, recommendation/support letters, exhibits, and a credential evaluation if your degree is from outside the U.S.
