dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Special Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The AAO found that counsel's assertions were not sufficient evidence and that letters from former students did not demonstrate the broad, national-level impact required. An award presented as evidence was determined to be a generic nomination letter lacking proof of exclusivity or prestige.
