Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor had 'national importance' under the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that while nursing has substantial merit, the petitioner did not show her specific work would have an impact beyond her direct patient care, and arguments about addressing a labor shortage were insufficient as that is what the labor certification process is designed to handle.
