Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a special education teacher, failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework. While her proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the AAO concluded she did not demonstrate that her specific work had the requisite national importance beyond her local employment, distinguishing it from the general importance of the special education field.
