dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an elementary science teacher, did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The unavailability of a labor certification due to a former employer's debarment was deemed an insufficient cause for granting the waiver.
