Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner submitted a fraudulent consultation letter from a non-existent organization in an attempt to meet the regulatory requirements. The letter also constituted a willful misrepresentation of the beneficiary's qualifications by falsely claiming he was an Oscar nominee. The petitioner's subsequent explanation that the letter was a 'sample' included by mistake was found to be not credible.
