Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor as a physical therapist had national importance. Although her work has substantial merit, the AAO concluded that its benefits would not extend beyond her direct patients to impact her field or the United States more broadly, failing to meet the criteria established in Matter of Dhanasar.
