Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed due to a finding of fraud and material misrepresentation. The AAO found that the petitioner submitted a falsified award certificate which was dated prior to the year the alleged contest took place. This fraudulent act undermined the credibility of the entire petition, and the petitioner failed to respond to the notice of derogatory information to rebut the finding.
