Guides for professionals who qualify.

There is no exact threshold, but you must demonstrate exceptional ability in your field and that your work benefits the U.S. at a national level. A patent alone is not enough; a combination of publications, recognition, and strong letters can be.

It depends on the service center and whether the petition is accompanied by a premium processing request. On average, 12 to 24 months for the full process. Premium processing reduces the adjudication to 45 calendar days.

Yes. That is precisely the main advantage of the NIW. You self-petition, which means you can keep your current job, start your own project, or even be unemployed during the process.

No. We work with professionals from around the world. Yandiel Muniz handles cases in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Legal documentation is submitted in English to USCIS.

The full process includes attorney fees (~$10,000), the USCIS filing fee (~$700), and optional premium processing ($2,800). Attorney fees are split in two: 50% upfront and 50% during the process. Total estimated cost ranges from $11,500 to $15,800 depending on the case.

As soon as possible. The process takes time, and starting earlier gives you more room to gather evidence, recommendation letters, and strengthen your profile. Even if you don't feel "ready," a free assessment will tell you exactly where you stand.
