Any motion must be filed within 30 days of the decision that the motion seeks to reconsider, as required by 8 C.F.R. 103.5(a)(l)(i). John F. Grissom 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 While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the issue in this proceeding is now moot.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.
