Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's proposed work as a physical therapist was found to have substantial merit, she failed to establish its national importance. The AAO also affirmed the Director's findings that the petitioner was not well-positioned to advance her endeavor and that, on balance, it would not be beneficial to the U.S. to waive the job offer requirement.
