Decision Summary

The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the Petitioner had not adequately explained her proposed endeavor. The AAO disagreed with this specific reasoning, finding the petitioner did identify a proposed endeavor, but ultimately agreed that she failed to demonstrate that her work as a physical therapist was of national importance. The case was remanded for further consideration and a new decision consistent with the AAO's analysis.
