CASE: H-1B Visa Petition (Change of Employer)
PETITIONER: Electric Engine / Turbine Manufacturing Company
BENEFICIARY: Global Sales Application Engineer
Our client is an Electric Engine/Turbine Manufacturing Company in Ohio. They contacted our office in early December to seek legal assistance for their foreign employee.
The beneficiary is from South Korea and obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. The proffered position for the Beneficiary is a Global Sales Application Engineer which qualifies as a specialty occupation – the minimum requirement for this position is a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or its equivalent.
The foreign beneficiary in this case already had her H-1B visa from her previous employer which was in a similar industry. Her H-1B visa has not yet expired, but she wanted to extend her H-1B status on the change of employer basis.
Once retained, our office filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on December 14, 2012 via premium processing. Since this petition was based on a change in employer, this petition was exempted from the annual cap of the H-1B. There were no Requests for Evidence during the processing of the H-1B. Eventually, our client’s H-1B Petition was approved on December 22, 2012. Now the Beneficiary can work for her Petitioner-Employer as an H-1B visa holder and she can work there for next three years.
