DISCUSSION: The Director, Vermont 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 seeks to extend the temporary employment of the beneficiary as its president in the United
States as an L-IA nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section IOI(a)(15)(L) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(L). The petitioner, a corporation
organized in the state of Florida, claims to be engaged in software services. It also claims to be the subsidiary
of Carratt Suspended Ceilings, Ltd., located in the United Kingdom. The beneficiary was initially granted a
one-year period of stay, which was subsequently extended in two two-year periods. The petitioner now seeks
to extend the beneficiary's stay for an additional two years.
The director denied the petition concluding that the petitioner did not establish that (1) the beneficiary would
be employed in the United States in a primarily managerial or executive capacity; or (2) the petitioner
maintained a qualifying relationship with a foreign entity.
On appeal, counsel for the petitioner asserts that the director's decision was erroneous. In support of this
contention , counsel submits a brief and additional evidence in support of the beneficiary's claimed eligibility.
A review of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) records indicates that the beneficiary in this case is
also the beneficiary of an approved family-based immigrant visa petition, and he has adjusted status to that of
a U.S. permanent resident as of July 11, 2007. While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this
proceeding, it would appear that the beneficiary is presently a U .S. permanent resident and the issues in this
proceeding are moot. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed.
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as moot.
