CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Public School District in Lame Deer, MT
BENEFICIARY: Filipino Elementary School Teacher
Our client is a public school district in Lame Deer, MT. In February 2026, they retained our firm to assist with an H-1B extension for a foreign employee. The beneficiary holds a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and serves as an Elementary School Teacher. This role qualifies as a specialty occupation, as the minimum requirement for the position is a bachelor’s degree in education or its equivalent. The beneficiary has maintained H-1B status with this employer since May 2023.
Upon being retained, our office filed the H-1B petition on March 16, 2026, via premium processing. The application was approved on March 31, 2026, without a Request for Evidence (RFE). His H-1B status is now valid through May 2029.
