CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Public School District in Dunseith, ND
BENEFICIARY: Filipina Special Education Teacher
Our client is a Public School District in Dunseith, ND. They contacted our office in October 2023 to seek legal assistance from our office for their foreign employee’s H-1B extension. The beneficiary obtained her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Special Education. The position for the Beneficiary is a Special Education Teacher which qualifies as a specialty occupation. This is a “specialty occupation” because the minimum requirement for this position is a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education or its equivalent. The Beneficiary has worked for her employer under H-1B status since June 2021.
Once retained, our office filed the H-1B visa petition with supporting documents on January 2, 2024 via regular processing. Our client’s H-1B application was approved on February 16, 2024. Her H-1B is good until January 13, 2027.
