Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a mathematics teacher, failed to establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The unavailability of a labor certification due to her employer's debarment was not considered a sufficient reason for the waiver. The evidence submitted, such as certificates of appreciation, did not meaningfully distinguish her from others in her field.
