L-1B Dismissed — Electrical Engineering (2022): the issues were considered moot
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the issues were considered moot. The Beneficiary had already departed the United States, obtained a new L-1B visa based on a separate blanket L petition, and re-entered the country with valid status. Since the beneficiary already holds the same nonimmigrant status sought in the extension petition, there was no longer a live controversy to adjudicate.
