Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a dentist, failed to establish that her proposed endeavor was of national importance. While the AAO agreed her plan to open dental clinics in underserved areas had substantial merit, it found she did not demonstrate her project would have a prospective impact on her field more broadly, beyond her own business and patients. The AAO noted that general shortages of qualified workers are typically addressed through the labor certification process, which the national interest waiver is meant to bypass only in specific circumstances.
