dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a special education teacher, failed to establish that she qualified for a national interest waiver. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that her work had a national scope or influence, as her achievements and improvement plans were limited to her local school. Consequently, she did not prove that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
