Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the criteria for a national interest waiver. The AAO found the petitioner, an elementary school teacher, did not demonstrate that the benefits of her work were national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner's arguments that her impact was limited by her employment circumstances were not sufficient to overcome these deficiencies.
