DISCUSSION: The nonirnmigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, California Service Center. The 
matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed. 
The petitioner is described as a marketer for audio and visual equipment. It seeks to extend its authorization 
to employ the beneficiary temporarily in the United States as its vice president. The director determined that 
the petitioner had not established that the beneficiary had been or would be employed in a primarily 
managerial or executive capacity. 
On appeal, the petitioner argues that the beneficiary qualifies as an executive under the definition contained in 
8 C.F.R. $ 214.2(1). 
A review of the records of the Citizenship and Immigration Services indicates that this beneficiary is also the 
beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and has adjusted status to that of a permanent resident as of May 
20, 2005. While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the 
beneficiary is presently a permanent resident and the issues in this proceeding are moot. Therefore, this 
appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: 
 The appeal is dismissed as moot.
