DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the petition for a nonirnmigrant visa. The matter 
is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed. 
The petitioner states that it is a design consultancy. It seeks to extend its authorization to employ the 
beneficiary temporarily in the United States as its graphic designer. The director determined that the 
petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge. 
On appeal, the petitioner disagrees with the director's conclusion and asserts that the beneficiary qualifies as a 
specialized knowledge employee under the definition contained in 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(1). 
A review of the records of the Citizenship and Immigration Services indicates that this beneficiary is also the 
beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and has adjusted status to that of a permanent resident as of 
November 10, 2005. While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that 
the beneficiary is presently a permanent resident and the issues in this proceeding are moot. Therefore, this 
appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: 
 The appeal is dismissed as moot.
