Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had national importance, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the endeavor to provide physical therapy services was found to have substantial merit, the AAO concluded that the petitioner did not show that her specific business plan had broader implications or a significant enough economic impact to be considered of national importance.
