dismissed EB-3 Case: Jewelry Wholesale
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO found that the petitioner willfully misrepresented a material fact on the labor certification. The petitioner incorrectly denied a familial relationship between its president (a corporate officer) and the beneficiary. This was deemed a material misrepresentation because it tends to shut off a line of inquiry relevant to the beneficiary's eligibility, specifically whether the job offer was genuinely open to U.S. workers.
