DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Vermont 
Service Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal will be 
dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks classification pursuant to section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
(the Act), 8 U.S.C. fj 1 153(b)(2), as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The 
petitioner seeks employment as a physician. The petitioner asserts that an exemption fkom the 
requirement of a job offer, and thus of a labor certification, is in the national interest of the United States 
because the petitioner will practice medicine at a health care facility under the jurisdiction of the 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The director found that the petitioner had not established she meets the 
alien physician admissibility requirements established by section 212(a)(5)(B) of the Act. 
Review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' records indicates that the petitioner was 
granted lawful permanent residence on October 20, 2005. Therefore, further pursuit of the matter at 
hand is moot. 
ORDER: 
 The appeal is dismissed based on the alien's lawful permanent resident status in the 
United States.
