Who qualifies for an RIR?

Since an RIR is an accelerated version of the normal Labor Certification process, anytime a Labor Certification applies, an RIR may also apply, provided the RIR requirements are met. This includes immigration petitions involving professionals with Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Abilities (EB-2), excluding NIWs or National Interest Waivers, and petitions for professionals with bachelor degrees, skilled workers, and unskilled workers (EB-3).

• All Family-Based immigration petitions
• Aliens with Extraordinary Abilities, Outstanding Researchers/Professors, and Intra-Company Transferees for Multi-National Executives (EB-1)
• National Interest Waivers (NIW) (Special type of EB-2 case)
• Investors (EB-5)
