Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their proposed endeavor as an exercise physiologist was of national importance. Although the Director acknowledged the endeavor's substantial merit, the AAO concluded the petitioner did not demonstrate the work's potential prospective impact would be broader than that of a typical practitioner in the field.
