Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor of providing physical therapy services had 'national importance.' While the AAO concurred that the venture had substantial merit, it concluded that its projected economic and employment impact was not significant enough to affect the national economy. The petitioner did not establish that her business would introduce broad advancements to the U.S. healthcare field or primarily benefit an economically depressed area.
