CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Public School District in Forrest City Arkansas
BENEFICIARY: Filipina High School Science Teacher
Our client is a Public School District in Forrest City Arkansas. They contacted our office in June 2023 to seek legal assistance from our office for their foreign employee’s H-1B extension. The beneficiary obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Biology. The proffered position for the Beneficiary is a High School Science Teacher which qualifies as a specialty occupation. This offered position is a “specialty occupation” because the minimum requirements for this position are a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology or its equivalent. The Beneficiary has worked for her employer under H-1B status since August 2020.
Once retained, our office filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents via premium processing service on July 24, 2023. Eventually, our client’s H-1B application was approved on July 31, 2023. Her H-1B is good until August 1, 2026.
