Appeal of Texas Service Center Decision 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date : MAY 21, 2020 
Form 1-129, Petition for L-lB Specialized Knowledge Worker 
The Petitioner, a manufacturer of molding machines, seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a 
technical trainer in the United States under the L-lB nonimrnigrant classification for intracompany 
transferees. Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 10l(a)(l5)(L), 8 U.S.C. § l 10l(a)(l5)(L) . 
The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition on multiple grounds . The Director 
concluded the Petitioner did not establish that: 1) it had a qualifying relationship with the Beneficiary's 
foreign employer; 2) the foreign employer was doing business as defined by the regulations; 3) the 
Petitioner was doing business as defined by the regulations; and 4) the Beneficiary's employment 
abroad involved specialized knowledge. The matter is now before us on appeal. 
U.S . Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that a Form 1-130, Petition for 
an Alien Relative, filed on behalf of the Beneficiary was approved after the instant appeal. USCIS 
records further show that a Form 1-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, 
was approved subsequent to the filing of this appeal and that the Beneficiary was issued a Permanent 
Resident Card on March 6, 2020. As the Beneficiary is presently a permanent resident, further pursuit 
of this matter is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
