Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their proposed endeavor had national importance. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's plan to work as a physical therapist at a healthcare facility would primarily benefit her direct employer and patients, rather than having the broader, national-level implications required under the Dhanasar framework.
