Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that their proposed endeavor rose to the level of 'national importance' under the Dhanasar framework. While the endeavor to provide mobile physical therapy services was found to have substantial merit, the record did not demonstrate that it would have broader implications for the field or a significant economic impact beyond the direct benefits to the petitioner's prospective patients.
