Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), section 203(b )(3)(A)(ii), 8 U.S.C. § 1 l 53(b )(3)(A)(ii) . 
This employment -based immigrant classification allows a U.S. employer to sponsor a professional 
with a baccalaureate degree for lawful permanent resident status . The Director of the Nebraska Service

qualified for the offered job.

at hand is moot.
