U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services MATTER OF O.H-F-A-S-, INC. APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office DATE: NOV. 12, 2015 PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER The Petitioner, a fine arts studio, seeks to classify the Beneficiary, a sculptor, as a foreign national with extraordinary ability in the arts. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) § 101(a)(15)(0)(i), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(0)(i). The Director, Vermont Service Center, denied the petition. The matter is now before us on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed as moot. A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicates that on January 29, 2014, the Beneficiary filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, seeking CU-7 immigrant classification. USCIS approved the application and the Beneficiary adjusted status to that of a U.S. permanent resident as of August 1, 2011. 1 Accordingly, the Beneficiary is presently a legal permanent resident and the issues in this proceeding are moot. Therefore, the appeal will be dismissed as moot. ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
