The Petitioner failed to show that his work—conference presentations, expert letters regarding in vivo markers and zebrafish models, and citation counts—had significantly impacted the field as of the petition filing date. Post-filing citations and pending peer-review could not establish eligibility, and letters from experts spoke to future potential rather than demonstrated impact.

serves national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the Petitioner's citation record minimal (most-cited work cited only seven times since 2002; three other works cited once each), that unpublished research could not establish eligibility at time of filing, that expert letters were conclusory and uncorroborated, and that peer review was routine and not indicative of superior contribution over a U.S. worker.

The Petitioner's limited citations, unsubstantiated claims of industry impact, and letters reflecting only potential future significance were insufficient to show actual major significance in the field as a whole. Evidence must show current, not prospective, impact.

AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the Petitioner's documentation showed positive local impact on her own students but not broader impact on the field of special education. Her claims of pioneering programs and service as a resource speaker were unsupported by evidence of originality or field-wide effect.…

AAO found that the Petitioner's documentation showed positive local impact on her own students but not broader impact on the field of special education. Her claims of pioneering programs and service as a resource speaker were unsupported by evidence of originality or field-wide effect. AAO also rejected the argument that exceeding labor certification minimum requirements is itself sufficient cause for a national interest waiver.
AAO noted that the federal education statutes address the intrinsic merit of education, which the Director did not dispute, and AAO did not separately analyze this prong.

AAO found that federal education laws cited by the Petitioner describe national goals but do not show that the work of one teacher significantly contributes to those goals, nor that the Petitioner's individual work furthers them on a nationally significant level. This conclusion was consistent with NYSDOT, which cited a classroom teacher as an example of a meritorious occupation lacking requisite national scope.

AAO disagreed with the director's blanket finding that the benefits would not be national in scope. While agreeing that classroom teaching has only local impact, AAO found that the petitioner's intended research and advocacy work regarding advancement of the U.S. education system would be national in scope.
