dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary's work would have a benefit of national scope, as required for a national interest waiver. The AAO also found that arguments regarding a local or national shortage of teachers are not a valid basis for a waiver, as the labor certification process is the proper mechanism to address such shortages.
