dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Science Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a science teacher, failed to establish that her work would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. While her work has merit, the evidence provided, including witness letters and awards, only demonstrated impact at a local level within her classrooms and schools, not the broader national influence required for a national interest waiver.
Criteria Discussed
