DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the employment-based immigrant visa 
petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal 
will be dismissed. 
The petitioner is a certified public accountant firm. It seeks to employ the beneficiary permanently 
in the United States as a senior auditor. The petitioner seeks to classify the beneficiary as an alien 
worker pursuant to section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.c. 
§ 1153(b)(2), as an advanced degree professional. The record of proceeding shows that the Form 1-
140 petition was filed July 27, 2007. The director denied the petition on August 7,2009. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that the alien filed a 
Form 1-485 Application to Adjust Status, receipt number SRC 11 901 20145, which was approved on 
January 9, 2012. Because the alien has adjusted to lawful permanent resident status, further pursuit of 
the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as moot based on the alien's adjustment to lawful permanent 
resident status.
