DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska Service Center, denied the employment-based immigrant visa 
petition on March 4, 2008. The petitioner filed a motion to reconsider on March 28, 2008. The director 
reaffirmed his decision on April 11, 2008. The petitioner appealed the decision to the Administrative 
Appeals Office (AAO) on April 25, 2008. The appeal will be dismissed. 
The petitioner is a dentist's office. It seeks to employ the beneficiary permanently in the United 
States as a continuing education instructor. 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 a member of the professions holding an advanced degree or an alien of 
exceptional ability. The director determined that the petitioner had not submitted a certified Form 
ETA 9089 with the petition. The director also determined that the copy of the Form ETA 9089 that 
the petitioner did submit was for a different employer and that the petitioner 
had failed to establish that it was a legal successor-in-interest to employer. The director 
denied the petition accordingly. 
Review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that, subsequent to 
filing the instant petiti~he beneficiary filed a Form 1-485 Application to Adjust 
Status, receipt number _which USCIS approved on April 16, 2010. Because the 
beneficiary has adjusted to lawful permanent resident status, further pursuit of the matter at hand is 
moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed based on the beneficiary's adjustment to lawful permanent 
resident status.
