Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a high school chemistry teacher, failed to establish that the benefits of her work would be national in scope. The AAO concluded that while her work had intrinsic merit, its impact was localized to her own students and school district, and she did not prove she would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
