In Re: 10469421 
Appeal of Vermont Service Center Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (H-18) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date: SEPT. 8, 2020 
The Petitioner seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary under the H-18 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 Vermont Service Center Director denied the petition, concluding that the Petitioner did not 
establish that the proffered position is a specialty occupation. On appeal, the Petitioner asserts that 
the Director erred and the Petitioner has established eligibility for this benefit. The matter is now 
before us on appeal. We will dismiss the appeal as moot. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that after filing the instant appeal, the 
Petitioner filed a duplicate Form 1-2908, Notice of Appeal or Motion. The regulations do not permit 
the filing of multiple simultaneous appeals from a single decision. As the grounds for the denial were 
previously addressed in the duplicate filing , further pursuit of the matter at hand would be moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
