Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed, and a subsequent motion to reconsider was denied, because the petitioner failed to meet two prongs of the national interest waiver test. While her work as an educator was found to be of substantial intrinsic merit, she did not establish that the proposed benefits of her work would be national in scope. Furthermore, she did not demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a similarly qualified U.S. worker.
