dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a middle school science teacher, failed to establish that the benefits of her work would be national in scope. The AAO concluded there was no evidence that her impact would extend beyond her own students, and therefore she did not demonstrate that she would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
