U.S. green card, NIW
For someone not working in a STEM field,
obtaining permanent residency through the NIW route
is uncommon

It means that the individual's expertise and the national
interest in that field were rated highly

Also, fortunately - not for the entire family, but -
a Social Security card arrived as well

Obtaining a U.S. green card in a non-STEM field
is becoming increasingly difficult

That said, it cannot be dismissed as impossible

This success story shows that the U.S. green card NIW
route can be applied across a wide range of professional fields
- it was a case that made that clear,
and a truly special one
For 25 years, Success Immigration has handled
a wide variety of cases

We offer free NIW eligibility assessments
and will review the best path forward for you
