Petitioner versus Applicant
In an I-140 petition, the petitioner and applicant usually refer to two different individuals involved in the immigration process:
- Petitioner: Typically, the petitioner is an employer or entity sponsoring a foreign national for permanent residency in the United States. In the context of NIW, it can be an organization or company where the foreign national is employed, or it can be the applicant themselves. The petitioner files an I-140 petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of the foreign national.
- Applicant: An applicant is a foreign national seeking a NIW and eventually obtaining a U.S. green card. They are the beneficiaries of the I-140 petition filed by the petitioner. Applicants need to meet the eligibility criteria of the NIW, including demonstrating that their work is of significant national interest and possess the necessary qualifications such as a Ph.D., Master's or Bachelor's degree, plus five years of work experience.
To summarize, the Petitioner filed the NIW I-140 petition and the Applicant was a foreign national seeking permanent residency and a Green Card based on the NIW. The applicant's qualifications and the petitioner's support are very important for a successful NIW petition.
Self-petition Applicant?
In a voluntary petition like the NIW, the foreign national (applicant) can file an I-140 petition on their own behalf. They don't need an employer or a specific petitioner to sponsor them. This is a feature of NIW that enables individuals with exceptional qualifications in the field of national interest to petition for themselves.
