NON-PRECEDENT DECISION

DISCUSSION: The nonimmigrant visa petition was denied by the service center director and the 
matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be 
dismissed as the matter is now moot. 
The petitioner submitted a Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129) to the Vermont 
Service Center on April 1, 2013. In the Form I-129 visa petition, the petitioner describes itself as a 
cable television network that was established in In order to employ the beneficiary in what it 
designates as a reporter position, the petitioner seeks to classify her as a nonimmigrant worker in a 
specialty occupation pursuant to section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). 
On September 23, 2013, the director denied the petition, finding that the petitioner failed to 
establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation in accordance with the 
applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. On appeal, the petitioner asserts that the director's 
basis for denial was erroneous. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that on 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 second petition was approved on August 4, 
2014. Because the beneficiary in 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.
