Summary

Oakland Unified School District is a public K–12 school system based in California. The district has filed 113 H-1B visa petitions since 2010, reflecting selective use of the program to fill teacher positions.

In fiscal year 2026, Oakland USD filed 3 H-1B petitions, all of which were certified. Across its entire filing history, the district achieved a 78.76% certification rate, with 6.19% of petitions withdrawn and 1.77% denied. The overwhelming majority of filings—81 out of 113—were for elementary school teachers. Secondary school teachers, special education teachers at the elementary and preschool levels, and data scientists made up the remainder of its H-1B activity.

The district's filing volume has been irregular, peaking in 2010 with 25 petitions and ranging from 1 to 14 filings in subsequent years. This pattern suggests H-1B sponsorship is used as a targeted recruitment tool rather than a primary staffing mechanism.
