DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the petition for a nonimrnigrant visa. The matter 
is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The AAO will dismiss the appeal. 
The petitioner filed this nonirnrnigrant visa petition seeking to extend the employment of its president as an L- 
1 A nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 1 O 1 (a)(15)(L) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1 101 (a)(15)(L). The petitioner is a limited liability company organized 
under the laws of the State of Georgia. The director denied the petition concluding that the petitioner failed to 
establish that the beneficiary will be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity in the United 
States. 
The petitioner filed an appeal. The director declined to treat the appeal as a motion and forwarded the appeal 
to the AAO for review. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicates that this beneficiary is also the 
beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and has adjusted status to that of a permanent resident on January 
12, 2007 (SRC 05 029 50078). While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would 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.
