Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor. While the AAO acknowledged the substantial merit of working as a mental health counselor, it found the petitioner did not demonstrate that her specific practice would have a broader impact beyond her immediate patients or have significant economic effects on a regional or national level.
