MATTER OF 1-B-M-S-, INC. 
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: SEPT. 21,2015 
PETITION: FORM 1-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, a building maintenance service company, seeks to employ the Beneficiary as an 
accountant and to classifY him as a nonimmigrant worker in a specialty occupation. See Immigration 
and Nationality Act (the Act)§ 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 
U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The Director, Vermont Service Center, denied the petition. The 
matter is now before us on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed. 
The Director denied the petition finding that the evidence of record did not establish that the 
proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. On appeal, the Petitioner asserts that the 
Director's basis for denial was erroneous and contends that it satisfied all evidentiary requirements. 
A review of the record of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services indicates that the Beneficiary 
adjusted status to that of a lawful permanent resident on September 10, 2015. Because the 
Beneficiary is presently a lawful permanent resident, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
Therefore, this appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
