dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed due to findings of fraud and material misrepresentation. The AAO found inconsistencies between award certificates submitted and the petitioner's own testimony in a previous asylum case where he claimed to be in hiding. Additionally, evidence of competition results and world rankings were contradicted by official online records, leading to a conclusion that the documents were not authentic.
