CASE: H-1B Visa Extension Petition
PETITIONER: Public School District in Saint Francis, SD
BENEFICIARY: Filipino School Counselor
Our client is a Public School District in Saint Francis, South Dakota. They contacted our office in September 2023 to seek legal assistance from our office for their foreign employee’s H-1B extension. The beneficiary obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. The offered position was a School Counselor which qualifies as a specialty occupation. This is 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 an H-1B status since September 2021.
Once retained, our office filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents via premium processing service on October 5, 2023. Our client’s H-1B application was approved on October 16, 2023. His H-1B is good until December 2026.
