Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a physical therapist, failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor of opening a physical therapy clinic had national importance. The Director and the AAO concluded that the evidence did not show that the benefits of her work would reach beyond her direct patients and clients to affect the field or the United States more broadly, a key requirement under the Dhanasar framework.
