Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor has national importance. While the AAO agreed her work as a nurse has substantial merit, she did not establish that her specific activities would impact the healthcare field broadly enough to be considered nationally important, distinguishing it from the general importance of the nursing profession. The decision also noted that her proposed endeavor was too vague because her future U.S. position was undetermined.
