MATTER OF R-, INC 
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: FEB. 11,2016 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, an information technology and software services firm, seeks to employ the Beneficiary 
as a "Software Developer" under the H -1 B nonimmigrant classification. See Immigration and 
Nationality Act (the Act) § 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), 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. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that on May 21, 
2015, 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 
other petition was approved, which granted the Beneficiary H-1B status from June 11, 2015, until 
November 21, 2016. Because the Beneficiary of the instant petition has been approved for H-1B 
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.
