Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the petitioner's proposed work as a physical therapist was found to have substantial merit, the AAO concluded she did not demonstrate that the prospective impact of her specific endeavor would be national in scope, extending beyond her immediate patients or employer.
