Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor possessed national importance. The AAO found that while her plan to operate a massage therapy spa had substantial merit, she did not demonstrate how its prospective impact would extend beyond her own patients and employees to benefit the field or the U.S. economy more broadly.
