Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor had national importance, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that while her work as a physical therapy consultant had merit, she did not provide sufficient evidence to show that her business would have broader implications for the field or substantial positive economic effects beyond her immediate clients and local area.
