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 
general manager 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. 5 1101(a)(15)(L). The petitioner is a corporation 
organized under the laws of the State of Florida and 
 neral trade of merchandise. 
The petitioner claims a qualifying relationship with 
 located in the United Arab 
Emirates. 
The director denied the petition concluding that the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary will be 
employed in the United States 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 Citizenshp and Immigration Services records indicates that this beneficiary is also the beneficiary of 
two approved L-1A nonimrnigrant petitions subsequently filed by the same petitioner, valid from April 21,2005 
until April 20, 2006 (SRC 05 130 51020) and April 20, 2006 until April 19, 2008 (EAC 06 143 50142) 
respectively. While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the 
beneficiary is either presently in L-1A status or is able to apply for the appropriate visa abroad, and the issues in 
this proceeding are moot. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as moot.
