Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor as an audiologist had national importance. The AAO found that while her work has substantial merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate how her specific endeavor would have broader implications beyond her direct patients and employers, relying instead on the general importance of the audiology field.
