dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an elementary school teacher, failed to demonstrate that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. Although the director acknowledged her qualifications as a professional with an advanced degree, the evidence of her achievements, such as local awards and letters from colleagues, did not establish that her impact was national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
