Non-Precedent Decision of the
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date: DEC. 04, 2023 In Re: 28567193 
Appeal of Texas Service Center Decision 
Form 1-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers (Skilled Worker) 
The Petitioner, a handyman maintenance service, seeks to employ the Beneficiary as an administrative 
assistant. It requests classification of the Beneficiary under the third-preference, immigrant category 
as a skilled worker. Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 203(b)(3)(A)(i), 8 U.S.C. 
ยง 1153(b)(3)(A)(i). This employment-based category allows a U.S. business to sponsor a foreign 
national for lawful permanent resident status based on a job offer requiring at least two years of 
training or experience. 
The Acting Director of the Texas Service Center revoked the approval of the petition, concluding that 
the Petitioner did not establish eligibility for the requested benefit. The matter is now before us on 
appeal. 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3. 
The Acting Director revoked the petition's approval on April 24, 2023. U.S. Citizenship and 
Immigration Services records show that the Beneficiary adjusted her status to that of a lawful 
permanent resident on September 1, 2020. See section 245(a) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. ยง 1255(a). Thus, 
this appeal no longer appears to retain practical significance. As a matter of prudence, we will 
therefore dismiss it as moot. See Matter ofLuis, 22 l&N Dec. 747, 753 (BIA 1999). 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
