CASE: H-1B Extension
PETITIONER: Nursing Care Facility in Des Plaines, IL
BENEFICIARY: Filipino Health Educator
Our client is a nursing home which is located in Des Plaines, IL. They contacted our office in August 2020 to seek legal assistance for their foreign employee’s H-1B extension. The beneficiary obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. The proffered position for the Beneficiary is a Health Educator which qualifies as a specialty occupation – a position where the minimum requirement is a Bachelor’s Degree in a specific specialty related to the position. We also note that we did an I-140 Petition for this client and it was approved.
Upon retention, our office filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on August 28, 2020 via premium processing service. Eventually, our client’s H-1B application was approved on September 4, 2020. His H-1B is good until August 31, 2023.
