Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work as a special educator was found to have substantial intrinsic merit, she did not establish that the proposed benefits of her work would be national in scope. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
