Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor has national importance under the Dhanasar framework. Although the AAO found she qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, it concluded her work's impact would not extend beyond her prospective patients to have the broader implications required for a national interest waiver.
