Services 
InRe: 7512538 
Appeal of Vermont Service Center Decision 
Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (H-lB) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date : JAN. 31, 2020 
The Petitioner, a software and information technology services company , seeks to temporarily employ 
the Beneficiary as an "IT software delivery manager" under the H-lB nonimmigrant classification for 
specialty occupations. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), 
8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The H-lB program allows a U.S. employer to temporarily employ a 
qualified foreign worker in a position that requires both: (a) the theoretical and practical application 
of a body of highly specialized knowledge; and (b) the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in 
the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum prerequisite for entry into the position . 
The Director of the Vermont Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the Petitioner did not 
establish the petition was supported by a Department of Labor , Labor Condition Application that 
corresponded with the proffered position in the petition. On appeal, the Petitioner asserts that the 
Director erred in denying the decision. Upon de novo review, we will dismiss the appeal as the matter 
is now moot. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that on a date 
subsequent to the denial of the instant petition, the Petitioner submitted a new Form I-129 on behalf 
of the Beneficiary. USCIS records further indicate that this new Form I-129 was approved. Because 
the Beneficiary in the instant petition has been approved for H-lB employment with the Petitioner 
based upon the filing of another petition, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
