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. While her work in education has intrinsic merit, she did not demonstrate that her impact was national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The evidence presented, such as improved test scores in her own classroom, was deemed localized and insufficient to meet the high standard for the waiver.
