Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. While her work as a geriatrician was found to have substantial merit, the evidence did not demonstrate that her specific practice would impact the field of geriatrics on a broader national scale. The AAO also rejected new information about owning a clinic and lecturing as an impermissible material change to the original petition.
