CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Public School District in Saint Francis, SD
BENEFICIARY: Filipino Elementary School Teacher
Our client is a Public School District in Saint Francis, South Dakota.
They contacted our office in September 2024 to seek legal assistance for their foreign employee’s H-1B extension. The beneficiary’s position is an Elementary School Teacher, which qualifies as a specialty occupation because the position requires a Bachelor’s Degree or its equivalent. The beneficiary has worked for the employer under H-1B status since December 2023.
Once retained, our office promptly filed the H-1B visa petition with supporting documents on October 17, 2024, via regular processing. Our client’s H-1B application was approved on March 7, 2025.
