The job you apply for must require an advanced degree and you must possess such a degree or its equivalent(a baccalaureate degree plus 5 years progressive work experience in the field). |

| National Interest Waiver |
Aliens seeking a national interest waiver are requesting that the Labor Certification be waived because it is in the interest of the United States. Though the jobs that qualify for a national interest waiver are not defined by statute, national interest waivers are usually granted to those who have exceptional ability (see above) and whose employment in the United States would greatly benefit the national. Those seeking a national interest waiver may self-petition (they do not need an employer to sponsor them). |
