U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services MATTER OF V- CORP. APPEAL OF TEXAS SERVICE CENTER DECISION Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office DATE : SEPT. 16, 2019 PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER The Petitioner , a software design, development and consulting services company, seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a senior consultant under the L- lA nonirnmigrant classification for intracompany transferees. See Immigration and Nationality Act section 101(a)(15)(L), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(L). The L-lA classification allows a corporation or other legal entity (including its affiliate or subsidiary) to transfer a qualifying foreign employee to the United States to work temporarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition , concluding that the Petitioner did not establish that the Beneficiary has been employed abroad, or would be employed in the United States, in a managerial or executive capacity . The matter is now before us on appeal. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that the Petitioner filed a new L IA nonimmigrant petition on the Beneficiary's behalf subsequent to filing the appeal. That petition was approved for a three-year period and our records reflect that the Beneficiary obtained an L-1 visa and has been admitted to the United States. As the Beneficiary is presently authorized to work for the Petitioner in the requested nonirnmigrant classification , further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. ORDER: The appeal is dismissed. Cite as Matter of V- Corp., ID# 5939250 (AAO Sept. 16, 2019)
