DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the petition for a nonimmigrant visa, and 
affirmed the decision on a subsequent motion to re-consider. The matter is now before the Administrative 
Appeals Office (MO) on appeal. The MO will dismiss the appeal. 
The petitioner filed this nonimmigrant petition seeking to extend the employment of its president as an L-1A 
nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 10 1 (a)(15)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 8 1 10 1 (a)(15)(L). The petitioner is a Florida limited liability company that claims to 
do business as an insurance underwriting management provider. The petitioner states that it is the subsidiary 
0- C.A., located in Caracas, Venezuela. The beneficiary was initially granted 
a one-year period in L-1A classification in order to open a new office in the United States, and the petitioner 
now seeks'to extend the beneficiary's status. 
The director denied the petition on May 18, 2004, concluding that the petitioner did not establish: (1) that the 
beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a primarily managerial or executive capacity; or (2) 
that the U.S. company had been doing business for the previous year. The petitioner subsequently filed a 
motion to re-consider. The director granted the petitioner's motion and affirmed the denial of the petition in a 
decision dated July 10,2004. 
' 
The petitioner subsequently filed the instant appeal. The director declined to treat the appeal as a motion and 
forwarded the appeal to the AAO for review. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Imrmgration Services (USCIS) records indicates that this beneficiary is also the 
beneficiary of an approved L-1A nonimrnigrant petition filed by an apparently related petitioner, B 
- valid from June 2, 2005 until June 2,2007 (SRC 05 166 51330).' 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withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the beneficiary is either presently in L-1A status or 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. 
' It is further noted that a review of the Florida Department of State's public records (hm://www.sunbiz.org) 
shows the corporate status of the instant petitioner as "inactive" as of September 15,2006.
