DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas 
Service Center, and 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)( I )(A) 
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 15 U.S.c. § 1153(b)(I)(A), as an alien of extraordinary 
ability in athletics. The director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or 
international acclaim necessary to qualify for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. 
Review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that, subsequent to 
filing the instant petition, the petitioner filed a Form 1-485 Application to Adjust Status based on a 
family-based petition, which USCIS approved on June 1, 2012. 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 pern13nent resident 
status.
