DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service 
Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) 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. 3 1153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary ability in 
the sciences. The director determined that 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' records indicates that the petitioner was granted lawful 
permanent residence on August 15, 2008. Therefore, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: 
 The appeal is dismissed based on the alien's lawful permanent resident status in the United 
States.
