Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their work would be national in scope. The AAO reasoned that the national importance of an overall field, such as special education, does not inherently mean that an individual practitioner's work has a national scope or serves the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
