In Re: 4691376 
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 : MAR . 30, 2021 
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. § 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 record did not 
establish that the proffered position qualifies as 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 the Petitioner filed a subsequent Form 
1-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, seeking nonimmigrant H-lB classification on behalf of 
the Beneficiary and that the petition was approved. 
Because the Beneficiary of the instant petition has been approved for H-lB employment with 
Petitioner, further pursuit of the matter at hand would be moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
