Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed, upholding the Director's revocation of the initial approval. The revocation was based on 'good and sufficient cause,' specifically discrepancies and suspected fraud related to the Petitioner's award certificates, which were found to be from junior competitions for which he was age-ineligible or were for mere participation. The authenticity of rebuttal letters was also questioned, leading to the conclusion that the Petitioner did not establish eligibility.
