dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Mathematics Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a mathematics teacher, failed to demonstrate that the benefit of her work would be national in scope. The AAO determined that while classroom instruction is important, its impact is generally localized and does not rise to the level of national importance required for a waiver of the job offer requirement, despite the petitioner's arguments related to national educational goals like STEM and the No Child Left Behind Act.
