dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an elementary school teacher, failed to establish that the proposed benefit of her work would be national in scope. The AAO found that while her work is in an area of substantial intrinsic merit, there was no evidence her impact would extend beyond her elementary school students to have a national impact, which is a requirement for the waiver.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving The National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
