EB-2B: Exceptional Ability
The EB-2B was designed specifically for those who can show exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business, which will greatly benefit the United States economy, cultural or educational interests, or welfare in the future. Exceptional ability means, “a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the sciences, arts, or business.”
If you are requesting that that USCIS waives the labor certification (also known as a job offer) requirement because it is in the best interest of the United States, you are eligible to file a petition on your own behalf. You may do this whether you seek to classify yourself as a professional who has an advanced degree or if you have an exceptional ability.
The USCIS will review all of the evidence you submit to determine whether you have satisfied the criteria and whether it is in the best interest of the US to grant this discretionary waiver.
