dismissed L-1B Case: Pressure Control Equipment Manufacturing

U.S. Citizenship

Services 
MATTER OF C-I- CORP. 
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: NOV. 10,2016 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, a manufacturer of pressure control equipment, seeks to extend the Beneficiary's 
temporary employment as a "field service specialist advanced" under the L-1 B nonimmigrant 
classification for intracompany transferees. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) 
section 101(a)(15)(L), 8 U.S.C. § 110l(a)(15)(L). The L-IB classification allows a corporation or 
other legal entity (including its affiliate or subsidiary) to transfer a qualifying foreign employee with 
"specialized knowledge" to work temporarily in the United States. 
The Director, Vermont Service Center, denied the petition. The matter is now before us on appeal. 
We will dismiss the appeal as moot. 
A review of U.S. Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicates 
that, subsequent to the denial of the petition, the Beneficiary applied for a new L-1 visa under the 
Petitioner's Blanket L petition at the U.S. Consulate in Caracas, Venezuela. The Beneficiary's Form 
I-129S, Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition, was approved and he has since been 
admitted to the United States using his nefly granted visa. 
Because the Beneficiary of the instant petition has been approved for an extension of his L-1 B 
employment with the Petitioner, further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
