DISCUSSION: The Director, Califomia Service Center, denied the nonimmigrant visa petition. The matter is 
now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The AAO will dismiss the appeal. 
The petitioner filed this nonimmigrant petition seeking to extend the beneficiary's L-IA status pursuant to 
section IOI(a)(IS)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.c. § 1101(a)(IS)(L), as an 
intracompany transferee employed in a managerial or executive capacity. 
The director denied the petition on June 4, 2009, concluding that the petitioner failed to establish that the 
beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that the beneficiary of this 
petition was also the beneficiary of an approved employment-based immigrant petition (Form 1-140) filed by the 
petitioner, and that he has adjusted status to that of a U.S. permanent resident as of August 3, 2009. While the 
petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the beneficiary is presently a 
lawful permanent resident and the issues in this proceeding are moot. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
