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. 8 1 153(b)(2), as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The petitioner asserts that an 
exemption from the requirement of a job offer, and thus of a labor certification, is in the national interest of the 
United States. The director found that the petitioner qualifies for classification as a member of the professions 
holding an advanced degree, but that the petitioner had not established that an exemption £rom the requirement of 
a job offer would be in the national interest of the United States. 
Review of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) records indicates that, simultaneously with the instant 
petition, the petitioner filed another Form 1-140 petition under a different classification, with receipt number 
EAC 03 01 7 50146. CIS records further indicate that the other petition was approved on July 12,2005. The alien 
had concurrently filed a Form 1-485 Application to Adjust Status, receipt number EAC 03 0 17 501 34, which was 
also approved on July 12, 2005. 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 lawll permanent resident status.
