dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Science Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a high school science teacher, failed to establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. While the evidence demonstrated her effectiveness as a teacher, it did not show that her contributions or credentials distinguished her significantly from other qualified teachers in her field, which is a requirement for the national interest waiver.
