dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO rejected the petitioner's argument that the No Child Left Behind Act created a blanket waiver for 'highly qualified teachers,' affirming that the petitioner must still demonstrate that they will serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as required by the NYSDOT framework.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
