DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas 
Service Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal will be 
dismissed. 
This petition, filed on July 2, 2007, seeks to classifL the petitioner pursuant to section 203(b)(2) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. tj 1153(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 has not established that an exemption from the requirement 
of a job offer would be in the national interest of the United States. 
Review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' records indicates that the petitioner was 
granted lawful permanent residence on October 30, 2009. 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.
