Appeal of California Service Center Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (H-lB) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date : APR. 6, 2020 
The Petitioner seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary under the H-IB nonirnrnigrant 
classification for specialty occupations . See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 
10l(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b), 8 U.S.C. § l 10l(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b). 
The Director of the California Service Center denied the petition. The Petitioner filed an appeal with 
our office, asserting that the Director's decision was erroneous. We will dismiss the appeal. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that after the denial of the instant 
petition, another entity filed a petition seeking nonimmigrant H-lB classification on behalf of the 
Beneficiary. USCIS records further indicate that the other petition was approved. We sent a letter to 
the Petitioner requesting verification of its intent to pursue this appeal, and have not received a 
response. A benefit request may be denied as abandoned, denied based on the record, or denied for 
both reasons if a petitioner does not respond to a request for evidence or a notice of intent to deny by 
the required date. 8 C.F .R. § 103 .2(b )( l 3)(i). Therefore, the appeal will be dismissed as abandoned 
because the Petitioner did not respond to our request within the time permitted . 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as abandoned pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(l3)(i) .
