Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an elementary school teacher, failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate that her work would have a prospective benefit that was national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. Evidence submitted, including articles, focused on a general trend of hiring teachers from the Philippines rather than on the petitioner's specific, unique contributions to the field.
