dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Mathematics Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a mathematics teacher, failed to demonstrate that the benefits of her work were national in scope. The AAO cited the NYSDOT precedent, noting that a single teacher's impact is typically local and not national, and found the petitioner had not shown her influence extended beyond the students in the schools where she taught. The petitioner did not prove she would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
