Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office Date: MAR. 5, 2020
Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Advanced Degree Professional The Petitioner seeks to employ the Beneficiary as a registered nurse under the second-preference immigrant visa classification for members of the professions holding an advanced degree. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 203(b)(2)(A), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(2)(A).
The Director of the Nebraska Service Center denied the petition. The Director concluded that the offered position does not support the requested visa classification.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that, while the appeal was pending, the Beneficiary obtained lawful permanent resident status on July 29, 2019. Because a substantive decision in this matter would lack practical significance, we will dismiss the appeal as moot. See, e.g., Matter ofLuis, 22 I&N Dec. 747, 753 (BIA 1999) (holding that an administrative tribunal may dismiss an appeal "as a matter ofprudence").
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
