DISCUSSION: The Director, Vermont Service Center, denied the petition for a nonimmigrant visa and 
affirmed her decision on a subsequent motion to reopen and reconsider. The matter is now before the 
Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The AAO will dismiss the appeal. 
The petitioner filed this nonimmigrant petition seeking to extend the employment of its executive 
directodpresident as an L-1 A nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 101 (a)(15)(L) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1101(a)(15)(L). The petitioner, a Virginia corporation, 
is described as a publishing and multi-media services provider. 
The director denied the petition on November 14, 2007, concluding that the petitioner failed to establish that 
the beneficiary will be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director granted the 
petitioner's subsequent motion to re-consider and affirmed the denial of the petition on April 29, 2008. The 
petitioner subsequently filed a timely appeal on May 30,2008, which is now before the AAO. 
A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that the beneficiary in this 
matter is also the beneficiary of an approved employment-based immigrant visa petition filed by the 
petitioning company. The beneficiary adjusted status to that of a U.S. permanent resident as of August 26, 
2008. While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the 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, the 
appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as moot.
