OVERVIEW

Adams 14 School District is committed to attracting highly qualified educators from around the world to enrich our diverse and vibrant learning community. To support international educators, we offer two types of visa sponsorship: J-1 and H-1B. Each visa type is designed to accommodate different professional backgrounds and goals.

J-1 Visa (Cultural Exchange Teacher Program): Ideal for educators looking to gain experience in the U.S. for a defined period while sharing their cultural perspectives.

H-1b Visa (WORK VISA): Designed for educators seeking longer-term employment and potential pathways to permanent residency.

We invite qualified applicants to explore these options and apply for positions within our district. Below is a detailed guide on the application process for each visa type, including the required steps, documentation, and timeline.


DETAILS

The J-1 Visa is a short-term visa for cultural exchange teachers and is processed through the Department of State. This visa allows international educators to teach in the U.S. for an initial period of three years, with an option to extend for an additional two years.

WHY
The J-1 Visa provides a structured cultural exchange opportunity, allowing educators to enhance their teaching skills while sharing their home country’s culture with U.S. students.

Processing times for the J-1 Visa are typically shorter than for H-1B visas, making it a faster path to start teaching in the U.S.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The H-1B Visa is designed for educators seeking a longer-term role in the U.S. This visa offers an initial three-year stay, with an option to extend for another three years, allowing for a total of six years. H-1B visas are processed through USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services).

WHY
The H-1B visa is ideal for educators looking to establish a longer-term career in the U.S., with the potential for a pathway to permanent residency (green card).

This visa is typically offered to candidates with more specialized skills or those not eligible for the J-1 program.
