Appeal of Texas Service Center Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (L-lA) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date : MAR . 24, 2021 
The Petitioner seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a business relationship manager in the 
United States under the L-lA nonimmigrant classification for intracompany transferees . See 
Immigration and Nationality Act section 101(a)(15)(L), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(L) . 
The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the record did not 
establish that the Beneficiary had been employed in a managerial or executive capacity. The matter 
is now before us on appeal. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that a Form 1-140, Immigrant 
Petition for an Alien Worker, filed on behalf of the Beneficiary, was filed and approved before the 
instant appeal. USCIS records further show that a Form 1-485, Application to Register Permanent 
Residence or Adjust Status , was approved subsequent to the filing of this appeal and that the 
Beneficiary was issued a Permanent Resident Card on October 19, 2020. As the Beneficiary is 
presently a permanent resident , further pursuit of this matter is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
