    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services · Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office · Date: FEB. 25, 2025 · In Re: 19143446 · Appeal of Texas Service Center Decision · Form 1-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers (National Interest Waiver)

    The Petitioner, a researcher, seeks employment-based second preference (EB-2) immigrant classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, as well as a national interest waiver of the job offer requirement attached to this classification. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 203(b )(2), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b )(2).

    The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the record did not establish that that the proposed endeavor was of national importance, that the Petitioner is well positioned to advance the endeavor, or that it would be beneficial to waive the requirements of a job offer. The matter is now before us on appeal pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 103.3.

    A review of records shows that the Petitioner filed another petition, which was approved and the Petitioner's application to register permanent residence was subsequently approved on October 15, 2024. As the Petitioner is now a permanent resident, the instant appeal will be dismissed as moot. ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
