dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Special Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, while the petitioner's work as a special education teacher was in an area of substantial intrinsic merit, she failed to establish that the benefit of her work would be national in scope or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner's arguments, which relied on her master's degree and extensive experience, were deemed insufficient to meet the high standard required for a national interest waiver.
