dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Mathematics Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a mathematics teacher, failed to demonstrate that her work would have a benefit that is national in scope. The AAO found that while her profession has intrinsic merit, the impact of her work as a single teacher was limited to her local students and school districts, not rising to the level of national impact required for the waiver.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
