CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Public School District in Saint Francis, SD
BENEFICIARY: Filipina Secondary School Teacher
Our client is a Public School District in Saint Francis, SD. They contacted our office in July 2022 to seek legal assistance from our office for their foreign employee’s H-1B extension. The beneficiary obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education. The proffered position for the Beneficiary is a Secondary School Teacher 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 Education or its equivalent. The Beneficiary has worked for her employer under H-1B status since December 2021.
Once retained, our office filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on August 16, 2022 via premium processing service. Our client’s H-1B application was approved on August 30, 2022 without any RFE. Her H-1B is good until December 1, 2025.
