CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Public School District in Lame Deer, MT
BENEFICIARY: Filipina High School Special Education Teacher
Our client is a public school district in Lame Deer, Montana. In February 2026, the district retained our firm to assist with an H-1B extension for a foreign employee. The beneficiary, who holds a Master’s Degree in Special Education, serves as a High School Special Education Teacher. This role qualifies as a specialty occupation, as it requires a minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in Education or its equivalent. The beneficiary has maintained H-1B status with this employer since May 2023.
Once retained, our office promptly filed the H-1B petition with comprehensive supporting documentation on March 19, 2026, via premium processing. The petition was approved on April 3, 2026, without a Request for Evidence (RFE). Her H-1B status is now valid through May 2029.
