Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her endeavor has national importance, the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that while her work as a registered nurse and nurse educator has substantial merit, the record did not show that her work would impact the nursing field or healthcare industry more broadly, beyond the specific patients she serves and students she teaches.
