DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, California 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. $ 1153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary ability. The 
director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim necessary 
to qualifL 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 WAC 
02 254 50190. CIS records further indicate that the second petition was approved on February 26, 2003. The 
alien subsequently filed a Form 1-485 Application to Adjust Status, receipt number WAC 03 136 5081 1, which 
was approved on July 28, 2004.' 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. 
1 The petitioner adjusted status after, in response to a query from this office, he declined to withdraw the 
appeal based on the approval of another Form 1-140 petition. We emphasize that this notice is not an 
acknowledgement of a withdrawal, which has not occurred, but a dismissal due to the petitioner's subsequent 
adjustment of status.
