U.S. Department of Homeland Security 20 Mass. Ave . N W . Krn A3042 Washington. TIC 20529 U. S. Citizenship and Immigration FILE: EAC 03 024 5 1 125 Office: VERMONT SERVICE CENTER Date: JUN i 4 Zm PETITION: Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability Pursuant to Section 203(b)(l)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 5 1153(b)(l)(A) ON BEHALF OF PETITIONER: INSTRUCTIONS: This is the decision of the Administrative Appeals Office in your case. All documents have been returned to the office that originally decided your case. Any further inquiry must be made to that office. Administrative Appeals Office J EAC 03 024 5 1 125 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Vermont 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)(l)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary ability in the sciences. 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 Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) records indicates that, subsequent to filing the instant petition, the petitioner filed another Form 1-140 petition under a lesser classification, with receipt number EAC- 03-024-50857. CIS records further indicate that the second petition was approved on January 18, 2005. The petitioner concurrently filed a Form 1-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, receipt number EAC-03-183-50173, which was approved on January 26,2005. 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.
