Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed benefit of her work would be national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. While the director acknowledged the substantial intrinsic merit of her work as a special education teacher, the petitioner did not demonstrate that her achievements and impact were significant enough to warrant a waiver of the labor certification requirement.
