Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. Although the director found the petitioner's work as a special education teacher to be of substantial intrinsic merit, the petitioner did not prove the proposed benefit would be national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The AAO affirmed that possessing useful skills or working in an important field is insufficient, by itself, to warrant a national interest waiver.
