DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the employment-based immigrant visa 
petition, which is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will 
be dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks classification as an "alien of extraordinary ability" in the sciences, pursuant to 
section 203(b)(I)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.c. § II53(b)(1)(A). 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 the 
filed another Fon]] 1-140 petition under a lesser classification, with receipt [JUI[Ju'el 
USCIS records further indicate that the director, Nebraska Service Center, approved the second petition 
on October 2, 2009. The alien subsequently filed a Form 1-485 Application to Adjust Status, receipt 
which was approved on January 28, 2010. 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.
