Availability of EB-2 National Interest Waivers to Entrepreneurs ±â¾÷ÀÇ EB-2 µ¶¸³À̹ÎÀÇ È¿¿ë¼º Entrepreneurs may obtain an employment-based second preference (EB-2) immigrant visa if they satisfy the existing requirements, and also may qualify for a National Interest Waiver under the EB-2 immigrant visa category if they can demonstrate that their business endeavors will be in the interest of the United States. USCIS has issued Frequently Asked Questions to clarify this issue. USCIS will also conduct internal training on the unique characteristics of entrepreneurial enterprises and startup companies and incorporate input from the upcoming stakeholder engagements detailed below. The EB-2 visa classification includes foreign workers with advanced degrees and individuals of exceptional ability in the arts, sciences, or business. Generally, an EB-2 visa petition requires a job offer and a Department of Labor certification. These requirements can be waived under existing law if the petitioner demonstrates that approval of the EB-2 visa petition would be in the national interest of the United States. ±â¾÷°¡µéÀº ±âÁ¸ÀÇ ¿ä±¸»çÇ×À» ¸¸Á·½ÃÅ°°í ±×µéÀÇ »ç¾÷¿¡ ´ëÇÑ ³ë·ÂÀÌ ¹Ì±¹ÀÇ ±¹ÀÍ¿¡ µµ¿òÀÌ µÇ¾î¾ß ÇÑ´Ù´Â EB-2 µ¶¸³À̹ο¡ ´ëÇÑ ÀÚ°ÝÀ» ÀÔÁõÇÒ ¼ö ÀÖ´Ù¸é À̹κñÀÚ È¹µæÀÌ °¡´ÉÇÏ´Ù. ¹Ì±¹À̹μºÀº ¶ÇÇÑ Æ¯º°ÇÑ Æ¯¼ºÀ» °¡Áø »ç¾÷°ú ½Å»ý±â¾÷ ±×¸®°í ÀÌÇØ°ü°èÀÚ¿¡ ´ëÇÑ ¾Æ·¡ÀÇ »ó¼¼³»¿ë¿¡ ´ëÇÑ ³»ºÎ ±³À°À» ½ÃÇàÇÑ´Ù.

New Procedures for Processing EB-5 Petitions EB-5 û¿øÀ» À§ÇÑ »õ·Î¿î ÀýÂ÷ USCIS is enhancing the EB-5 immigrant investor program by transforming the intake and review process. In May, USCIS proposed fundamental enhancements to streamline the EB-5 process which include: extending the availability of premium processing for certain EB-5 applications and petitions; implementing direct lines of communication between the applicants and USCIS; and providing applicants with the opportunity for an interview before a USCIS panel of experts to resolve outstanding issues in an application. After reviewing stakeholder feedback on the proposal, USCIS will begin implementing the first of these enhancements within 30 days. ¹Ì À̹α¹Àº ÅõÀÚÀ̹ΠÇÁ·Î±×·¥¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Á¢¼ö ¹× °ËÅä°úÁ¤À» º¯ÇüÇÏ¿© EB-5ÅõÀÚÀ̹ΠÇÁ·Î±×·¥À» Çâ»ó ½ÃÅ°°í ÀÖ´Ù. 5¿ù µé¾î¼, ¹Ì±¹ À̹μºÀº ƯÁ¤ EB-5 ½Åû°ú û¿øÀ» À§ÇÑ ÇÁ¸®¹Ì¾ö ÀýÂ÷ÀÇ °¡´É¼º È®´ë, û¿øÀÚ¿Í ¹Ì±¹ À̹μº °£ÀÇ Á÷Á¢ÀûÀÎ ¼ÒÅë¶óÀÎÀÇ ±¸Çö, ½ÅûÀÚ¿¡°Ô ½Åû¿¡ ÀÖ¾î¼ ´«¿¡ ¶ç´Â »ç¾ÈÀ» ÇØ°áÇϱâ À§ÇÑ ¹Ì±¹ À̹μº Àü¹®Æгεé°úÀÇ »çÀü ÀÎÅÍºä ±âȸÀÇ Á¦°ø µîÀ» Æ÷ÇÔÇÑ EB-5 ÇÁ·Î¼¼½º¸¦ °£¼ÒÈÇϱâ À§ÇÑ ±âÃÊÀûÀÎ Çâ»óÀ» Á¦¾ÈÇß´Ù.
