dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The petitioner, an elementary school teacher, was found to work in an area of substantial intrinsic merit. However, the appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that she would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. Relying on an advanced degree equivalent and extensive experience was insufficient to meet the high standard required for a national interest waiver.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
