Floral City, Florida Sep 15, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - AAE Evaluations, a provider of immigration evaluation and professional document services, is helping EB-2 National Interest Waiver applicants strengthen their petitions through customized EB-2 NIW expert opinion letters prepared around each applicant's professional background, proposed endeavor, and supporting evidence.
The EB-2 NIW pathway allows eligible professionals to pursue a U.S. green card through self-petitioning without the traditional employer sponsorship and labor certification requirements. However, applicants must demonstrate that their proposed endeavor satisfies the three-prong framework established in Matter of Dhanasar.
An expert opinion letter can provide independent, field-specific analysis that helps explain an applicant's qualifications, professional achievements, proposed endeavor, and potential national importance in a way that is accessible to USCIS adjudicators.
AAE Evaluations' service is designed around this need. Rather than relying on generic templates, the company develops letters based on the applicant's individual field, evidence, career history, and proposed endeavor.
"Our goal is to provide applicants with a professional document that clearly connects their individual qualifications and proposed endeavor to the requirements of the EB-2 NIW framework," said a spokesperson for AAE Evaluations. "A strong expert opinion letter should be specific to the applicant and supported by evidence rather than relying on broad or generic statements."
Customized Expert Analysis for EB-2 NIW Petitions
AAE Evaluations works with field-matched independent experts to prepare customized opinion letters for professionals across a range of disciplines, including STEM, technology and AI, healthcare, engineering, environmental science, business and finance, public policy, and academia.
The service includes review of the applicant's CV, proposed endeavor statement, and supporting documentation before the letter is prepared. The resulting document addresses the applicant's circumstances rather than presenting a standardized assessment.
The company's expert opinion letter cover multiple employment-based immigration categories, including EB-2 NIW, EB-1, H-1B, O-1, and L-1 petitions.
Addressing the Three Dhanasar Prongs
A key component of an EB-2 NIW expert opinion letter is addressing the three elements of the Matter of Dhanasar framework.
The first prong focuses on whether the proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance. The second considers whether the applicant is well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor. The third evaluates whether, on balance, it would benefit the United States to waive the job offer and labor certification requirements.
AAE Evaluations structures its EB-2 NIW expert opinion letters around these considerations, using the applicant's professional achievements and supporting evidence to develop a field-specific assessment.
The company also provides EB-2 NIW business plan for applicants whose proposed endeavors require a detailed business plan to support their petition strategy.
Support for Initial Petitions and RFE Responses
AAE Evaluations prepares expert opinion letters for both initial EB-2 NIW petitions and Request for Evidence responses.
For RFE cases, the company reviews the USCIS notice and develops a new, targeted letter addressing the concerns identified by the agency. This approach is intended to provide evidence and analysis that directly responds to the issues raised in the RFE rather than simply repeating material from the original submission.
Applicants can also explore the company's broader immigration document and evaluation services, which include credential evaluations, expert opinion letters, recommendation letters, and other professional documentation.
Independent Experts and Field-Specific Experience
The credibility and relevance of an expert can be an important consideration when preparing an expert opinion letter. AAE Evaluations matches applicants with experts whose professional or academic background aligns with the applicant's field and proposed endeavor.
The company has been providing immigration evaluation and document services since 2018 and reports having processed more than 1,500 cases.
AAE Evaluations' current EB-2 NIW expert opinion letter service starts at $675, with a standard turnaround of six business days and rush processing available for applicants with urgent filing timelines.
Helping Applicants Build a Stronger Evidentiary Record
An expert opinion letter does not replace an applicant's underlying evidence or legal strategy. Instead, it can provide an independent professional perspective that helps explain the significance of the applicant's work and connect relevant evidence to the proposed endeavor.
Applicants preparing an EB-2 NIW petition can begin with a review of their documentation and proposed endeavor to determine whether an expert opinion letter is appropriate for their individual circumstances.
AAE Evaluations provides EB-2 NIW expert opinion letters for initial petitions and RFE responses, with customized analysis developed around the applicant's field, professional background, evidence, and proposed endeavor.
