PETITION: 
 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker as a Member of the Professions Holding an Advanced 
Degree or an Alien of Exceptional Ability Pursuant to Section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration 
and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 5 1 153(b)(2) 
ON BEHALF OF PETITIONER: 
SELF-REPRESENTED 
DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the visa petition. The Administrative Appeals 
Office (AAO) dismissed the petitioner's appeal of the director's decision. The matter is now before the AAO 
on a motion to reconsider. On November 14, 2009, the petitioner requested that the appeal and the motion be 
withdrawn. The appeal cannot be withdrawn, having already been dismissed (see 8 C.F.R. 5 103.3(a)(2)(ix), 
which only permits withdrawal "before a decision is made"). We do, however, acknowledge the petitioner's 
withdrawal of his subsequent motion. 
All documents have been returned to the ofice that originally decided the case. Any further inquiry must be 
made to that office. 
ORDER: 
 The motion is dismissed based on its withdrawal by the petitioner. The petition remains 
denied.
