DISCUSSION: The Director, California Service Center, denied the petition for a nonimmigrant visa. The 
matter is now hefore the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The AAO will dismiss the appeal. 
The petitioner filed this nonimmigrant petition seeking to classify the beneficiary as a nonimmigrant 
intracompany transferee pursuant to section 10 l(a)(l5)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 
U.S.c. § llOl (a)( 15)(L). The petitioner, a California corporation, states that it is engaged in the import and 
export of general merchandise. It claims to be a subsidiary of Sunshine Jiayu Golden Hotel Beijing Co., Ltd., 
located in China. The beneficiary was previously granted L-I A classification for a period of one year in order 
to open a new office in the United States. The petitioner seeks to extend the beneficiary's employme11l in the 
general manager for a period of three years. 
The director denied the petition on June II, 2009, concluding that the petitioner failed to establish that the 
beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. The 
petitioner filed a timely appeal. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that the beneficiary of this 
petition was also the beneficiary of an approved family-based immigrant petition (Form 1-130) and that she has 
adjusted status to that of a U.S. permanent resident as of September 8, 2011. While the petitioner has not 
withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the beneficiary is presently a lawful permanent 
resident and the issues in this proceeding are moot. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
