In Re: 7943862 
Appeal of Vermont Service Center Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (H-lB) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date: SEPT. 18, 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 
lOl(a)(lS)(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 record did not 
establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. On appeal, the Petitioner 
asserts the Director erred in her decision. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that the Petitioner filed another Form 
1-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker , seeking the same nonimmigrant 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.
