Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO affirmed the Director's conclusion that the evidence did not demonstrate the national importance of providing kinesiology services to rural patients. As the first prong was not met, eligibility for the waiver could not be established.
