NON-PRECEDENT DECISION 
Page 2 
DISCUSSION: The service center director denied the nonimmigrant visa petition, and the matter is 
now before the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. In letters received on February 23, 2015, 
counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner "withdraws sponsorship of the underlying H-lB 
visa petition" and requests that the petition be withdrawn. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(6), 
however, precludes this, because U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has already issued a 
decision on the visa petition. Notwithstanding this provision, even if the grounds of ineligibility in 
this matter were to be overcome on appeal, this request to withdraw the petition now renders it 
subject to immediate and automatic revocation without prior notice. See 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(h)(ll)(ii). 
Therefore, as the request to withdraw the original petition was received before the issuance of our 
decision in this matter, the issues in this proceeding are now moot, and the appeal will be dismissed 
on this basis. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as moot.
