Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an athletic trainer, failed to establish the national importance of his proposed physical rehabilitation institute. While the AAO found the endeavor had substantial merit, the evidence did not demonstrate that his work would have a broad impact on the field beyond his immediate clientele, which is a key requirement under the Dhanasar framework.
