Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's primary argument of a local shortage of qualified math teachers is insufficient for a National Interest Waiver. Citing precedent, the AAO clarified that local labor shortages are addressed by the labor certification process, not waived by it, and that the impact of a single teacher is generally not considered national in scope.
Criteria Discussed
Employment In An Area Of Substantial Intrinsic Merit Proposed Benefit Will Be National In Scope Alien Will Serve The National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
