NON-PRECEDENT DECISION 
Page 2 
DISCUSSION: The service center director denied the nonimmigrant visa petition that is now before 
the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed as the matter is now moot. 
On the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129), the petitioner describes itself as a 1,400-
employee "Charter School" firm established in In order to continue to employ the beneficiary 
in what it designates as a "Science Teacher" position, the petitioner seeks to classify him as a 
nonimmigrant worker in a specialty occupation pursuant to section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). 
The director initially approved the petition. However, on April 12, 2013 the service center director 
issued a notice of intent to revoke in this matter. Subsequently, on May 14, 2014, the director 
revoked approval of the visa petition. The petitioner filed an appeal on June 13, 2014. 
A review of the records of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) indicates that this 
beneficiary is also the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and has adjusted status to that 
of a lawful permanent resident as of August 13, 2013. Because the beneficiary's status has been 
adjusted to permanent resident, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. Therefore, this appeal 
is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed. The petition is denied.
