Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed due to a finding of fraud. The AAO determined that the petitioner submitted fraudulent reference letters, including one from an individual who was not an employee of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as claimed, and another from a university on outdated letterhead. This discovery, along with the petitioner's failure to respond to a notice of derogatory information, compromised the credibility of the entire petition.
