Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. Although the AAO acknowledged the substantial merit of working as a nurse, the petitioner did not establish that her specific impact would be national in scope, distinguishing the general importance of the nursing profession from the specific national impact of her individual work.
