InRe : 6110118 
Certification of California Service Center Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (H-lB) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date: SEP. 9, 2022 
The Petitioner seeks to employ the Beneficiary under the H-lB nonimrnigrant 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 Director of the California Service Center issued an initial decision proposing to deny the H-1 B 
petition and certified it to us for review pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 103.4(a). According to U.S. Citizenship 
and Immigration Services records, the Beneficiary has since adjusted to lawful permanent resident 
status. Because this matter is now moot, we decline to reach the merits of the certification and will 
remand the matter back to the Director to issue a final decision. 
ORDER: The certification is remanded , and the matter is returned to the Director.
