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 with extraordinary ability in 
the sciences. The director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international 
acclaim requisite to classification as an alien with extraordinary ability. 
Review of CIS records indicates that, subsequent to filing the instant petition, the petitioner was granted 
adjustment of status to lawful permanent residency on April 22,2005 on the basis of an approved petition for 
classification as a second preference employment-based immigrant. 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.
