Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the AAO made a formal finding that the petitioner willfully misrepresented a material fact. The petitioner submitted a volume of work claiming authorship of a poem that was actually written by another poet. This misrepresentation was material to the petition's eligibility, and the petitioner failed to respond to the notice of derogatory information about this finding.
