DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska 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 software research and development business. It seeks to employ the beneficiary 
permanently in the United States as a senior develop;:r. 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 October 22,2007. The director denied the petition on 
May 21, 2009. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 
Form 1-485 Application to Adjust was approved on 
November 16, 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 as moot based on the alien's adjustment to lawful permanent 
resident status.
