Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor. While the AAO determined she was eligible for the underlying EB-2 classification, it found that her work as a nurse would not have a broad enough impact to meet the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. Her attempt to change her endeavor to a self-employed business plan post-filing was deemed a material change and was not considered.
