NON-PRECEDENT DECISION
DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska Service Center (director) denied the employment-based immigrant visa petition and the petitioner has appealed that decision to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). The appeal will be dismissed as moot.
The petitioner is a dental clinic seeking to employ the beneficiary permanently in the United States as a dentist (materials/reconstructive) pursuant to section 203(b )(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U .S.C. § 1153(b )(2). On May 16, 2013, the director denied the visa petition after determining that the record failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified for the offered position.
The AAO conducts appellate review on a de novo basis. See Soltane v. DOl, 381 F.3d 143, 145 (3d Cir. 2004).
The record contains the instant Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion _ which was timely filed by the petitioner on June 18, 2013. It also includes a Form I-290B filed by the petitioner on June 17, 2013. Both Forms I-290B appeal the director ' s May 16, 2013 decision and rely on the same reasoning.
On February 12, 2014, the AAO sustained the petitioner's June 17, 2013 appeal of the director's decision \, , Accordingly , the AAO will not consider the instant Form I-290B r and will dismiss it as moot.
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as moot.
