dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an elementary school teacher and STEM coordinator, did not establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The director had already conceded the petitioner's qualifications as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, but found the evidence insufficient to grant a waiver of the job offer and labor certification requirement.
Criteria Discussed
