CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Public School District in Forrest City, AR
BENEFICIARY: Filipina High School Science Teacher
Our client is a public school district in Forrest City, Arkansas. In June 2026, they contacted our office seeking legal assistance with an H-1B extension for a foreign employee. The beneficiary holds a bachelor’s degree in Biology and serves as a High School Science Teacher—a role that qualifies as a specialty occupation, as it requires at least a bachelor’s degree in Biology or a related field. The beneficiary has already successfully worked for the employer under H-1B status for several years.
Once retained, our firm promptly filed the H-1B petition with comprehensive supporting documentation on July 30, 2026, via premium processing. On August 16, 2026, the petition was approved without a Request for Evidence (RFE).
