What type of job offer is required? What if I change jobs while my NIW petition is pending?
Technically, no job offer is required for a NIW petition. For this reason, it is possible for intending immigrants to self-petition. The way the statute is drafted, it is the job offer that is waived. Because the job offer is waived, the individual Labor Certification requirement is also waived. Realistically, however, a person seeking an NIW must offer persuasive evidence that he or she will be engaged in work that will benefit the national interest of the United States. The easiest way to do this is with a specific job offer, which clearly describes the work that will be done. If you change jobs while your NIW petition is pending, it will have no effect upon the status of your case. The NIW can be self-petitioned and does not require a job offer. Therefore, you may change your employment and it will have no effect on your case, as long as you stay within your field of expertise. Q. I am full-time employed by a company.
