H-1B Extension Approval for Public School Petitioner in Mohave Valley Arizona and Filipina Elementary Teacher

CASE: H-1B Visa Extension
PETITIONER:  Public School District in Mohave Valley, AZ
BENEFICIARY: Filipina Elementary School Teacher

Our client is a Public School District in Mohave Valley, AZ. They contacted our office in May 2021 to seek legal assistance from our office for their foreign employee’s H-1B extension.  The beneficiary obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. The proffered position for the Beneficiary is an Elementary School Teacher which qualifies as a specialty occupation. This proffered position is a “specialty occupation” because the minimum requirements for this position are a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education or its equivalent.  The Beneficiary has worked for her employer under H-1B status since August 2018.   

Upon retention, our office filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on June 14, 2021 via regular processing. Eventually, our client’s H-1B application was approved on February 25, 2022.  Her H-1B is good until June 30, 2024.
