In Re: 8844032 
Appeal of Vermont Service Center Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date: JULY 2, 2020 
The Petitioner, a software sales and consulting company , seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary 
as a "Microsoft Dynamics CRM senior technical consultant" 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 know ledge 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 record did not 
establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. On appeal, the Petitioner 
asserts that the Director erred in denying the petition. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that the Petitioner filed another Form 
1-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, seeking H-lB classification on behalf of the Beneficiary 
and that the petition was approved. Because the Beneficiary has been approved for H-lB employment 
with the Petitioner, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
