Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner chose to withdraw it after the AAO issued a notice of derogatory information. The AAO found that the petitioner had submitted altered and fabricated documents, including a fraudulent web page printout that falsely portrayed membership in the Royal Economic Society as a highly exclusive honor. This was deemed a willful misrepresentation of a material fact.
