dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work as an elementary school teacher was found to have substantial intrinsic merit, she failed to establish that the benefit of her work would be national in scope. The AAO concluded that the impact of a single schoolteacher is typically localized and does not extend beyond her students and school district to a degree that would be considered national in scope.
Criteria Discussed
