R-1 Music Minister Approved for Southern Baptist Church

6/30/2026

Our client is part of the network of Southern Baptist Churches, and hired attorney Furqan to file an R-1 change of status for their Music Minister, who was on OPT. Attorney Furqan provided evidence that they were a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and that the position of Music Minister, despite not having ordainment, qualified as a religious position. USCIS approved the case in premium processing, without an RFE.
