Decision Summary
The motion was denied, and the appeal dismissed, because the petitioner failed to establish that the benefits of his work as a special education teacher would be national in scope. The AAO concurred with the Director that the impact of a single teacher is typically localized. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
