dismissed L-1A Case: Grocery Store

U.S. Citizenship 
and Immigration 
Services 
Non-Precedent Decision of the
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date: DEC. 21, 2023 In Re: 29300024 
Motion on Administrative Appeals Office Decision 
Form 1-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (L-lA Manager or Executive) 
The Petitioner operates a grocery store and seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as general 
manager and chief executive officer of its claimed new office under the L-lA nonimmigrant 
classification for intracompany transferees.1 Immigration and Nationality Act section 10l(a)(l5)(L), 
8 U.S.C. § l 10l(a)(l5)(L). The L-IA classification allows a corporation or other legal entity 
(including its affiliate or subsidiary) to transfer a qualifying foreign employee to the United States to 
work temporarily in a managerial or executive capacity. 
The Director of the California Service Center denied the petition in July 2019. We dismissed the 
Petitioner's appeal as well as its four subsequent motions, the first of which was a motion to reconsider 
followed by three combined motions to reopen and reconsider. The matter is now before us again on 
another combined motion to reopen and reconsider. The record shows that alongside this motion, the 
Petitioner filed another Form I-290B (with receipt numbed b, which is also a motion 
to reopen and reconsider and was filed on the same date and is accompanied the same supporting 
statement as this matter. We have since issued a decision on the simultaneously filed motion (with 
receipt numberl I). In doing so, we considered and addressed the arguments made in 
the Petitioner's supporting statement. 
Accordingly, because this motion is based on arguments that we have already considered and 
addressed in our decision on the simultaneously filed motion, the basis for this motion is moot. 
ORDER: The motion to reopen is dismissed. 
FURTHER ORDER: The motion to reconsider is dismissed.

the United States for less than one year. 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(l)(l)(ii)(F) .
