Decision Summary
Although the AAO found that the petitioner did qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, the appeal was ultimately dismissed. The AAO concluded that the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor, finding that while her work had merit for her individual patients, she did not demonstrate that it would have broader implications for her field or a significant impact on a national scale.
