dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Science Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a physics and chemistry teacher, failed to establish that the benefits of his work would be national in scope. While the director acknowledged the intrinsic merit of STEM education, the petitioner did not show his influence extended beyond a local level or that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. teacher.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Alien Will Serve The National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
