CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Sensor Device Development Company in Irvine, CA
BENEFICIARY: Mechanical Engineer from Japan
Our client is a leading company in providing innovative sensors and health monitoring solutions to the problem related to maintenance and safety of civil infrastructure and other structural / material systems. They contacted our office in January 2019 to seek legal assistance from our office for their foreign employee’s H-1B extension. The beneficiary obtained his Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. The proffered position for the Beneficiary is a Principal Engineer which qualifies as a specialty occupation. This proffered position is clearly a “specialty occupation” because the minimum requirements for this position are a Bachelor’s Degree in Science/Engineering or its equivalent. Moreover, our office helped this employee’s H-1B transfer case in 2016 and it was approved by the USCIS.
Once retained, our office promptly filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on February 18, 2019 via the regular processing service. Eventually, our client’s H-1B application was approved on May 15, 2019. His H-1B is good until April 11, 2021.
