Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner severely misrepresented their citation record, claiming two articles were cited over 100 times each when they had few, if any, citations. This misrepresentation undermined the petitioner's credibility and the evidentiary value of the support letters. As a result, the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
