dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Special Education
Decision Summary
The motion was dismissed because the petitioner, a special education teacher, failed to establish that the proposed benefit of his work would be national in scope. The AAO determined that the petitioner's impact was localized to his students and school, which is insufficient to meet the national interest waiver standard, citing precedent that a single schoolteacher's work typically does not have a national impact.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serves The National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
