Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a middle school math teacher, failed to establish that the benefits of her work would be national in scope. While acknowledged as a competent teacher whose work is of intrinsic merit, the evidence did not demonstrate that her influence extended beyond her own classroom or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than other qualified U.S. teachers.
