What this kit is
A local second review of an NIW I-140 draft. ExtraordinaryOS does not receive client files. Counsel keeps every legal judgment.
- Underlying EB-2 classification (advanced degree professional or exceptional ability, including occupation/profession and endeavor-relatedness).
- Dhanasar prongs: substantial merit and national importance of the proposed endeavor; well positioned to advance it; on-balance waiver of the job offer and labor certification.
- Discretion remains with USCIS even if the prongs are shown (Matter of Dhanasar; Policy Manual Chapter 5).
What this kit is not
- Legal advice
- An EB-1A extraordinary-ability kit or an O-1A kit — do not import those criteria
- The physician underserved-area / VA statutory NIW track under INA 203(b)(2)(B)(ii), unless counsel separately identifies that track
- A DOL labor-certification product
- A petitioner self-help kit

The standard this kit reviews against
EB-2 first. If the person does not qualify for EB-2, USCIS may RFE, NOID, or deny without reaching the waiver (Policy Manual 6 USCIS-PM F.5(D)(1) and the 2025-01-15 alert).
Then Dhanasar (Matter of Dhanasar, 26 I&N Dec. 884 (AAO 2016)): (1) the proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance; (2) the person is well positioned to advance it; (3) on balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the job offer and thus the labor certification.
“Endeavor” is more specific than occupation. Benefits to a specific employer alone, even one with a national footprint, are not enough for national importance (Policy Manual and USCIS filing tips).
The national interest waiver is a discretionary benefit even after the three prongs are shown. Confirm the live Policy Manual and 8 CFR 204.5 before filing.
Reviewer posture
- Nothing is uploaded to ExtraordinaryOS; approve any AI tool that processes client files.
- A person may be well positioned even if success is not more likely than not (Dhanasar). Unsubstantiated claims still fail the petitioner’s burden.
- STEM Ph.D. plus critical/emerging technology work is described as an especially positive factor, not as a substitute for evidence.
- If the draft uses EB-1A’s ten criteria or treats exceptional ability as extraordinary ability, flag it. Do not import those standards.
- Stop if the reviewer is asked for approval odds.
