Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, while the AAO agreed the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, it found she failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor had 'national importance' as required by the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner's work as a physical therapist was deemed to have substantial merit, but the evidence did not establish a prospective impact that was national in scope.
