MATTER OF Y-A-A-
APPEAL OF TEXAS SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: OCT. 25, 2019 
PETITION: FORM I-140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER 
The Petitioner, an English teacher, seeks classification as an individual of extraordinary ability. See 
Immigration and Nationality Act, section 203(b)(l)(A), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b)(l)(A). This first 
preference classification makes immigrant visas available to those who can demonstrate their 
extraordinary ability through sustained national or international acclaim and whose achievements have 
been recognized in their field through extensive documentation. 
The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the Petitioner had not 
satisfied any of the ten initial evidentiary criteria, of which she must meet at least three. The matter is 
now before us on appeal. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that the Petitioner has adjusted to 
permanent resident status through an unrelated proceeding. The Petitioner filed Form I-485, 
~ation to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, with receipt numberl I 
L___Jon January 15, 2019. That application was approved on July 2, 2019. 
Because the Petitioner's status has been adjusted to permanent resident, further pursuit of the matter 
at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
