EB-2 NIW or EB-1A: which is easier?
Answer
EB-2 NIW is significantly easier. The Dhanasar test is about national interest and positioning, while EB-1A requires proof of extraordinary ability at the top of the field (3 of 10 USCIS criteria with a high bar). Senior professionals without international fame typically fare better on NIW.
