dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Special Education
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 of the United States. Although the director found the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the AAO determined that her accomplishments, such as helping to establish a special education program at a single school, did not demonstrate a benefit that was national in scope. The petitioner's past record was not sufficient to prove she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
