The beneficiary obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education. The position for the Beneficiary qualifies as a specialty occupation. This is because the minimum requirements for this position are a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education or its equivalent. The Beneficiary has worked for his employer under H-1B status since December 2021.
Once retained, our office promptly filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on December 9, 2024 via premium processing service. Eventually, our client’s H-1B application was approved on December 18, 2024.
