Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner was found to be barred from having the petition approved due to a prior fraudulent marriage. The Director determined there was substantial and probative evidence that the petitioner's previous marriage was entered into for the purpose of evading immigration laws, and the petitioner failed to rebut this finding. The AAO affirmed that this marriage fraud bar under section 204(c) of the Act prevents the approval of the current petition.
