dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Special Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the benefits of her work as a special education teacher were national in scope. The Director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not demonstrate a past record of specific prior achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole, which is necessary to justify a waiver of the labor certification requirement.
