Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed due to a formal finding of fraud and material misrepresentation. The AAO discovered that evidence submitted, specifically event programs showing the petitioner receiving an award, had been altered by pasting the petitioner's name over the original recipient's name. Additionally, the petitioner failed to provide clear evidence of his plans to continue working in his area of expertise in the United States, as required.
