In Re: 10299603 
Appeal of California Service Center Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (H-lB) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date : WLY 23, 2020 
The Petitioner seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary under the H-IB nonimmigrant 
classification for specialty occupations . See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) 
section 10l(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b), 8 U.S .C. § 110l(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 California Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the evidence of 
record does not establish that: (1) the Petitioner will have an employer-employee relationship with the 
Beneficiary; and (2) the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. On appeal , the 
Petitioner asserts that the Director erred, and the evidence supports an approval of the petition . 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that the Petitioner filed another Form 
1-129, Petition for a Nonirnmigrant Worker, seeking H-lB classification on behalf of the Beneficiary 
and that the petition was approved. Because the Beneficiary has been approved for H-lB employment 
with the Petitioner , further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
