Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the three-prong test for a national interest waiver. While the petitioner's work as a teacher was found to be of substantial intrinsic merit, the petitioner did not establish that the benefits of their work would be national in scope or that they would serve the national interest to a greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
