Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor had national importance. The AAO found that while physical therapy has substantial merit, the petitioner's plan to open a home health care company and create a limited number of jobs did not rise to the level of having a significant national economic impact or broader implications for the field.
