dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Special Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner, a special education teacher, works in a field of substantial intrinsic merit, she failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The petitioner did not demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker, which is a key requirement of the National Interest Waiver test established in NYSDOT.
