H-1B Dismissed — Unknown (2015): the petitioner's counsel requested to withdraw the H-1B

Decision Summary

The petitioner's counsel requested to withdraw the H-1B petition after the director had already issued a decision. Although regulations preclude withdrawal at this stage, the request renders the petition subject to automatic revocation. Because the withdrawal request was received before the AAO issued its appeal decision, the issues were considered moot and the appeal was dismissed.
