Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit a required written advisory opinion from a peer group. The petitioner's claim that no such peer group exists was unsubstantiated, and the letter submitted as an alternative was deemed insufficient as it did not establish the author's expertise or contain the necessary details about the beneficiary's abilities and proposed work.
