Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a special education teacher, failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. Although the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the AAO found the evidence of awards and recognition did not meet the high standard required to prove that she would benefit the U.S. to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
