dismissed EB-3 Case: Culinary
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO affirmed the director's decision to revoke the petition's approval. The revocation was based on a finding under Section 204(c) of the Act that the beneficiary had previously entered into a marriage for the purpose of evading immigration laws. The AAO found there was substantial and probative evidence of this prior marriage fraud, which acts as a permanent bar to the approval of subsequent immigrant petitions.
Criteria Discussed
Section 204(C) Marriage Fraud Bar 8 C.F.R. § 204.2(A)(L)(Ii)
