dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. While her work as a math teacher was found to have substantial intrinsic merit, she did not demonstrate that her individual qualifications and future contributions would have a benefit significantly greater than other teachers in her field. The unavailability of a labor certification due to her former employer's debarment was not considered a sufficient basis for granting the waiver.
