dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director found the petitioner had not established that an exemption from the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The petitioner argued that the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 created a new standard for teachers, but the AAO rejected this, stating the act does not define 'national interest' or create any blanket immigration waivers for educators.
