Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's proposed endeavor to run a physical therapy clinic had substantial merit, the record did not establish that it had national importance. The AAO found the endeavor's impact would be limited to the petitioner's direct client base and would not more broadly impact the field, and the proposed job creation was not substantial enough to qualify.
