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 appeal will be dismissed. 
The petitioner filed this nonimmigrant petition seeking to extend the employment of its general manager as an 
L-1 A nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 10 1 (a)(l 5)(L) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 6 1 10l(a)(15)(L). The petitioner is a branch office of a South African 
corporation that is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of fruit juices. The petitioner now seeks to 
extend the beneficiary's stay in the United States for three years. 
The director determined that the petitioner had not established that the beneficiary had been or would be 
employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. 
On appeal, the petitioner argues that the beneficiary qualifies as an executive under the definition contained in 
8 C.F.R. 5 214.2(1). 
A review of CIS records indicates that this beneficiary is also the beneficiary of an approved immigrant 
petition, filed by the same employer, and has adjusted status to that of a permanent resident status as of March 
4, 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 While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the 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.
