In Re: 6012745 
Appeal of California Service Center Decision 
Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (H-lB) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date: JAN. 8, 2020 
The Petitioner seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a "domain manager" under the H-lB 
nonimmigrant classification for specialty occupations. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) 
section 10l(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), 8 U.S.C. § 110l(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). 
The California Service Center Director denied the petition, concluding that the record did not establish 
that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. On appeal, the Petitioner submits 
additional evidence and asserts the Director erred in their decision. 
U.S. Citizenship and hnmigration Services records indicate that the Beneficiary's Form I-485, 
Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status has been approved. As the Beneficiary 
has been approved for lawful permanent residence status, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
