dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
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. Although her counsel argued she was a STEM teacher, the AAO found her experience was in general elementary and pre-kindergarten education. The petitioner did not demonstrate that her work's benefit would be national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
