dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an elementary school teacher, failed to establish that the benefits of her work would be national in scope. While her work was deemed to have substantial intrinsic merit, the record did not show how her impact would extend beyond her local school to a national level, nor did it prove she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
