Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a teacher, failed to establish that her contributions would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The AAO found that a shortage of qualified teachers is an argument for the labor certification process, not a basis for waiving it. The petitioner's qualifications and language skills were not deemed sufficiently unique to set her apart from other qualified teachers.
