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 is a computer systems manufacturer established in 1984. The petitioner filed this L-1B 
nonimmigrant petition seeking to extend its authorization to employ the beneficiary temporarily in the United 
States as a quality engineer senior analyst pursuant to section 101(a)(15)(L) of the 1mmigra.tion and 
Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1101(a)(15)(L). The director denied the petition, concluding that the 
petitioner has failed to establish that the beneficiary will be employed in a specialized knowledge ca.pacity or 
that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge. 
On appeal, the petitioner and its counsel disagree with the director's decision and assert that the evidence 
presented establishes that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge and will be employed in a specialized 
knowledge capacity. 
A review of the records of the Citizenship and Immigration Services indicates that this beneficiary is also the 
beneficiary of an approved L-1A nonimmigrant petition, valid from July 6, 2004 until July 6, 2006 (SRC 04 170 
50380). While the petitioner has not withdrawn the appeal in this proceeding, it would appear that the beneficiary 
is presently in valid L-1 status and the issues in this proceeding are moot. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed as moot.
