DISCUSSION: The Director, Califomia Service Center, denied the nonimmigrant visa petition. The mailer is 
now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The AAO will dismi" the appeal. 
The petitioner filed this nonimmigrant petition seeking to classify the beneficiary pursuant to section 
101(a)(15)(0)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 USc. * 1101(a)(15)(0)(i), as an alicn 
of extraordinary ability in the arts. 
The director denied the petition on March 9, 20 I 0, concluding that the petitioner failed to submit evidence to 
satisfy the regulatory criteria at 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(0)(3)(iv)(A) or (B), and thereforc did not establish that the 
beneficiary qualifies as an alien with extraordinary ability. The petitioner filed a timely appeal. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USerS) records indicates that petitioner filed a second 
0-1 nonimmigrant petition on behalf of the beneficiary, which was approved and is valid from December 28, 
20 I 0 until September 12, 20 II. Because the beneficiary in the instant petition currently holds the requested 
classification, [unher pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
