dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Mathematics Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The AAO noted contradictions in the petitioner's claimed teaching experience and found that her specialized Montessori certification was for the elementary level, not the proposed middle school level, and could be addressed through a standard labor certification process.
