DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the employment-based immigrant visa 
petition and the matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal will be 
dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks classification as an employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 203(b)(l)(A) 
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary 
' 
ability in the arts. The director determined that the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary criteria for 
classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. 
Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) records show that prior to filing the instant petition, the 
petitioner filed a Form 1-589, Application for Asylum, which was approved by the Los Angeles Asylum 
Office on September 19, 2002. On March 27, 2006, the Nebraska Service Center approved the 
petitioner's Form 1-485, Application to Adjust Status (Receipt Number LIN , based on 
his asylee status. Because the alien has adjusted to lawful permanent resident status, further pursuit of 
the matter at. hand is moot. 
ORDER: 
 The appeal is dismissed, based on the alien's adjustment to lawful permanent resident 
status.
