DISCUSSION: The Director, California Service Center, denied the petition for a nonimmigrant visa. 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 employment of its presidentlchief 
executive officer as an L-1 A nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 10 1 (a)(15)(L) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. $ 1101(a)(15)(L). 
 The petitioner, a California 
corporation, claims to be a subsidiary of 
 located in China. The petitioner 
has employed the beneficiary in L-1A status since December 2001 and now seeks to extend his status for 
three additional years. 
The director denied the petition concluding that the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be 
employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity under the extended petition. 
The petitioner subsequently filed an appeal. The director declined to treat the appeal as a motion and 
forwarded the appeal to the AAO for review. On appeal, counsel for the petitioner disputes the director's 
findings and asserts that the beneficiary will be employed by the U.S. company in a qualifying managerial 
capacity. 
A review of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) records indicates that the beneficiary in this case is 
also the beneficiary of an approved first preference employment-based immigrant petition filed by the instant 
petitioner, and has adjusted status to that of a legal U.S. permanent resident as of June 8, 2006. 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petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the beneficiary is presently a 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.
