MATTER OF C-C-, INC. 
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: SEPT. 5, 2019 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, a provider of card-linked marketing solutions, seeks to temporarily employ the 
Beneficiary as a "coordinator , channel solutions" under the H-lB nonimmigrant classification for 
specialty occupations. Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), 
8 U.S.C. ยง 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The H-IB 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 sufficiently establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. On appeal, 
the Petitioner submits additional documentation and asserts that the Director erred in denying the 
petition. We will dismiss the appeal. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that the Petitioner filed another Form 
I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, on behalf of the Beneficiary and that petition was 
approved. Because the Beneficiary has been approved for employment with the Petitioner, further 
pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
