dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a high school science teacher, failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While her work was found to have substantial intrinsic merit, she did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that her proposed benefit would be national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. Her influence was deemed to be localized to the schools where she taught, rather than having a broader national impact.
