Acting Chief, Administrative Appeals Office 
DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied on April 18, 2008 by the Director, Texas 
Service Center. The petitioner subsequently filed an appeal with the Administrative Appeals Office 
(AAO). The AAO will neither affirm nor overturn the director's decision. Rather, the appeal will be 
dismissed as moot. 
The petitioner is a multinational banking institution that seeks to hire the beneficiary as its support 
systems consultant. Accordingly, the petitioner endeavors to classify the beneficiary as an 
employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 203(b)(l)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b)(l)(C), as a multinational executive or manager. The director 
denied the petition based on the finding that the petitioner failed to submit evidence in support of the 
Form 1-140, which was electronically filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) 
on July 27,2007. 
A review of the USCIS records indicates that the petitioner subsequently filed another Form 1-140 (with 
receipt no. -!, which was approved on March 6,2009. The AAO further notes that the 
April 2009 Visa Bulletin indicates that the employment-based first preference visa categories are 
current. As such, the earlier priority date of July 27,2007 is not currently an issue. Furthermore, there 
is no indication that the beneficiary has dependents who are reliant on the earlier priority date. While 
the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the issue in this 
proceeding is now moot. Accordingly, as the issue in the present matter is now moot, this appeal is 
dismissed. 
ORDER: 
 The appeal is dismissed as moot.
