CASE: H-1B Extension
PETITIONER:  Public School District in Saint Francis, SD
BENEFICIARY: Filipino Elementary School Teacher

Our client is a Public School District in Saint Francis, SD. They contacted our office in February 2023 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. This position is a “specialty occupation” because the minimum requirement for this position is a bachelor’s degree in education or its equivalent.  The Beneficiary has worked for her employer under a H-1B status since September 2022.    

We filed the H-1B visa petition on March 23, 2023 via premium processing service. The H-1B was approved on April 11, 2023, good until April 2026.
