Conclusion
Final Determination: The appeal is dismissed because the Petitioner had filed two appeals of the Director’s decision, and sustaining the other appeal has rendered this one moot. The end result for the Petitioner will be approval of the underlying I-140 petition due to the sustained appeal.
Reasoning: The Petitioner has filed two appeals of the Director’s decision. Sustaining the other appeal has rendered this one moot, and it will be dismissed on that basis. However, because the other appeal is being sustained, the end result for the Petitioner will be approval of the underlying I-140 petition.
Next Steps: No further action required as the other appeal has been sustained leading to the approval of the underlying I-140 petition.
