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 extend the employment of the beneficiary in 
the position of president as an L-1A nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 101(a)(l5)(L) 
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 3 1101(a)(15)(L). The petitioner is a corporation 
organized under the laws of the State of Texas and is allegedly in the business of "investments and 
management." The director denied the petition concluding that the petitioner did not establish that (1) the 
United States or the foreign entity were doing business as defined in the regulations; or (2) 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 June 14,2005. 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the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the beneficiary is presently a 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.
