Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Director found a willful misrepresentation of a material fact regarding the Beneficiary's qualifying work experience. The Beneficiary's claim of working as a cook during a specific period was contradicted by her own prior nonimmigrant visa application, where she stated she was working as a supervisor in finance for another company and had no other employers. The petitioner failed to resolve this material inconsistency on appeal, leading to the invalidation of the labor certification.
