    Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services · In Re: 37434165 Date: MAY 9, 2025 · Appeal of Texas Service Center Decision · Form 1-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers (National Interest Waiver)

    The Petitioner, an entrepreneur in the field of business management and a training and development specialist, 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 Service Center Operations denied the petition, concluding that although the Petitioner established that she qualifies for the underlying EB-2 visa classification as an advanced degree professional, she did not establish that a waiver of the required job offer, and thus of the labor certification, would be in the national interest. The matter is now before us on appeal pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 103.3. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that the Petitioner has an approved immigrant petition and has adjusted status to that of a U.S. permanent resident as of April 2025. While the Petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, the Petitioner is presently a permanent resident and the issue in this proceeding is moot.

    ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
