MATTER OF L-D-, LLC 
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: NOV. 10, 2015 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, a dance studio, seeks to employ the Beneficiary as a computer programmer and to 
extend his classification as a nonimmigrant worker in a specialty occupation. See section 
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, revoked the approval of the petition. 
The matter is now before us on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed. 
The Director initially approved the petition on September 23, 2011. However, she revoked the 
approval of the petition on February 24, 2015, based upon the results of a site visit. On appeal, the 
Petitioner asserted that the Director's basis for revocation was erroneous. 
A review of the records of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) indicates that this 
Beneficiary is the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and adjusted status to that of a 
lawful permanent resident on September 19, 2015. While the Petitioner has not withdrawn the 
appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the Beneficiary is presently a lawful permanent 
resident and the issues in this proceeding are moot. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
