In Re: 9162042 
Appeal of Vermont Service Center Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (H-lB) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date : OCT . 6, 2020 
The Petitioner seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary 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 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 proffered position 
is not a specialty occupation, and the matter is now before us on appeal. On appeal, the Petitioner 
submits additional evidence and contends that the petition should be approved . We will dismiss the 
appeal. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that the Petitioner filed a subsequent 
petition seeking nonimmigrant H-IB classification on behalf of the Beneficiary, and that the petition 
was approved. Because the Beneficiary of the instant petition has been approved for H-lB 
employment with Petitioner, further pursuit of the matter at hand would be moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
