Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed benefit of her work would be national in scope, as her teaching activities were described as being local to the 'tri-state area.' The petitioner's claim of a local shortage of trilingual teachers was found to be an argument for pursuing a labor certification, not for waiving it.
