U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services MATTER OF A- LLC Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office DATE: NOV. 22, 2016 APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER DECISION PETITION: FORM 1-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER The Petitioner, a worldwide provider of hardware and software applications for precision agriculture, seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a technical project coordinator under the L-IB nonimmigrant classification for intracompany transferees. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(15)(L), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1101(a)(15)(L). The Director, California Service Center, denied the petition. The matter is now before us on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed. A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that on August 22, 2016, a date subsequent to the denial of the instant petition, the Beneficiary was issued a blanket L-1 nonimmigrant visa. Because the Beneficiary in the instant petition has been approved for employment with the Petitioner based upon the filing of another petition, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. ORDER: The appeal is dismissed. Cite as Matter of A- LLC, ID# 56416 (AAO Nov. 22, 2016)
