DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas 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 visa petition seeking to employ the beneficiary in the position of chief
executive officer as an L-l A nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 101(a )(l5)(L) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1101(a)(l5)(L). The petitioner is a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Florida and allegedly operates a dry cleaning business. The director
denied the petition concluding that the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary will be employed in a
primarily managerial or executive capacity.
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 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 December 23, 2004.
While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the beneficiary is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.
