The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) is a U.S. immigration category that allows foreign nationals to obtain a green card without a job offer or labor certification if they can prove that their work is in the national interest of the United States. The "three-prong test" for the EB-2 NIW, established by the Matter of Dhanasar decision in 2016, outlines the criteria that must be met to qualify for this waiver. Today I present how to address prongs 1:

Proposed Endeavour of Substantial Merit and National Importance:

Substantial Merit: The applicant's proposed endeavor must have substantial merit. This means that the work should have intrinsic value and be significant in its field. The merit can be demonstrated in a range of areas such as business, entrepreneurialism, science, technology, culture, health, or education.
National Importance: The endeavor must have national importance, meaning it should have a potential impact beyond the applicant's local area or region. The work should benefit the United States as a whole, in terms of economy, health, environment, or other significant areas.
