Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work as a special education teacher was found to be in an area of 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 benefit the national interest to a greater extent than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, which is a required prong for the national interest waiver.
