MATTER OF 0-S- LLC. 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: DEC. 17,2015 
APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, an advanced software development and consulting firm, seeks to temporarily employ 
the Beneficiary as a "systems engineer" under the H-1B 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, 
California Service Center, denied the petition. The matter is now before us on appeal. The appeal will 
be dismissed. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that on August 25, 2015, 
another employer filed a Form I-129 seeking nonimmigrant H-1B classification on behalf of the 
Beneficiary. USCIS records further indicate that this petition was approved on September 3, 2015. 
We sent a letter to the Petitioner requesting verification of its intent to pursue this appeal on October 
29, 2015, and have not received a response. 
Because the Beneficiary of the instant petition has been approved for H -1 B employment with 
another employer, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed. 
Cite as Matter of O-S- LLC, ID# 13833 (AAO Dec. 17, 2015)
