Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor as a physical therapist for a professional soccer team has national importance. The AAO concluded that while the work has substantial merit, the record did not establish that the petitioner's specific activities would impact the field of physical therapy on a broader, national level beyond the direct benefit to his team's players.
