US Visa Singapore

In two classifications of immigrant workers, the workers are not required to have a job offer and may self-petition (the worker does not need an employer to sponsor them).  These categories include:

 

• Individuals of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics, AND

• Individuals who were granted a National Interest Waiver (NIW).

 

Individuals of extraordinary ability are considered to be the best of the best in their field and it is an eligibility category that applies to very few individuals.  Examples of who may be considered an E11 immigrant include Nobel Prize winners, notable athletes, and others who have achieved great successes in their field.
