Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the benefits of his work as a biology instructor were national in scope, with the director concluding they were purely local. The AAO also noted that a claimed shortage of science teachers is not, by itself, a sufficient reason to bypass the labor certification process, which is the standard mechanism for addressing such shortages.
