dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Special Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a special education teacher, failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the director acknowledged the petitioner qualifies as a professional with an advanced degree and that her field has substantial intrinsic merit, the petitioner did not prove that the benefit of her work would be national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
