U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services In Re: 3587266 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 . 5, 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. ยง 1101(a)(l5)(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 Beneficiary has become a lawful permanent resident of the United States, thereby rendering the matter at hand moot. The appeal will therefore be dismissed. ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
