DISCUSSION: The Director, California Service Center, denied the nonimmigrant visa petition and 
certified the decision to the AAO. The AAO will dismiss the appeal. 
The petitioner in this matter is self-described as a talent agency. It seeks to employ the beneficiary as an 
actor. The petitioner filed the instant petition seeking to classify the beneficiary as an 0-1 
nonimmigrant pursuant to section 101(a)(15)(0)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), as 
an alien of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry. The petitioner seeks 
to employ the beneficiary as an actor for a period of approximately three years. 
On January 6, 2010, the director denied the petition concluding that the petitioner failed to establish that 
the beneficiary has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture and 
television industry. In denying the petition, the director determined that the petitioner failed to establish 
that the beneficiary has been nominated for or has been the recipient of a significant national or 
international award, pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(o)(3)(v)(A), or that she has met three of the six 
evidentiary criteria set forth at 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(o)(3)(v)(B). In addition, the director determined that 
the petitioner's explanation of the intended events for the beneficiary does not establish that she is 
coming to the United States to provide services related to a specific event or events pursuant to 8 C.F .R. 
§ 214.2(o)(2)(ii). 
Also on January 6, 2010, the director issued a notice of certification advising the petitioner that the 
matter has been certified to the AAO pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 103.4(a)(2), and granting 30 days in 
which to submit a brief or written statement. As of this date, the AAO has not received a brief or 
statement from counsel or the petitioner, and the record will be considered complete. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that the 
beneficiary in this matter is also the beneficiary of an approved first preference employment-based 
immigrant petition and has adjusted status to that of a U.S. permanent resident as of June 23, 2011. 
While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the 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, 
the appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as moot.
