Hi po.I have two years of experience in the Philippines and two years teaching abroad. Am I qualified to teach specifically in AZ? Or I need to get another year of experience in the Philippines before applying to J1VISA. Thank you so much, ma'am Alissa.
How to apply to schools? I mean can you give us links . can you also give some tips on how to write a US design resume? tnx
Thanks ma'am. I'm interested. Please enlighten me.
Ma'am do the schools ask for teaching credentials/certifications of Arizona? please explain about the process of getting the teaching certifications of US (arizona).
I made a video about it. Just search it in my channel. How to be a teacher in AZ
This is really informative. Thanks, Alissa for taking the time to discuss all these for our reference. I'm quite curious though since you went there with J1 Visa together with your family, did you go back to PH after the 2-year contract altogether, because you mentioned that you have to go back to your country after your contract to share what you've learned from there - which is what the cultural exchange all about? Or is there a way to stay in the US while waiting for the next school year (which is about 2 months). I am not sure if you have mentioned this already in your other videos, because I have watched almost all your vid already (Lol). I hope you can also share something such as this, or if you'll need to apply to another school in another state after finishing a contract.
hello! I did not finish my entire J1 program. I was able to get a J1 waiver based on my US citizen child. I currently have H1b Visa now.
I have a video about how to get a J1 Waiver. Due to changes made by CFO after suspension for a year, it is now more difficult to get a waiver even if you will have a US citizen child,
I recently applied for the J1 Teacher Exchange Program, but unfortunately my resume got rejected and questioned my employment status if I am still employed or not. I came to the conclusion that in order to be approved we should still be employed.
However, as you have said, even if we are no longer employed at least we have teaching experience for at least two years and it must be a classroom teacher. Correct?
Nevertheless, do I still have a chance to be accepted? In my case, I resigned from my previous school serving a total of 8 years as a classroom teacher, just this January 2023.
Your response is highly appreciated.
Hello po mam Alissa, ask ko lang po kung maaari kang ma denied sa visa interview kng wla kang bank statement? Anu anong other options na pwedeng gawin kng wlang bank statement. Sna po mapayuhan nyo ako. Salamat po
Also, the sufficient proficiency level of english, how much level do they require?
I am a B1 to B2, am I qualified?
Thank you so much teacher Alissa for giving informations and it is a very detailed one. I am going to send you an email. I am currently working here in Thailand for 6 years now. I hope I can qualify as a J1 teacher eventhough I am out of the country. God bless you and your family.
Hii please guide me.actully I fill the form which given by me itsEPI then they sent me email that i have to go for credentials evaluation so school is not decided but they tell me for this so please tell me i go for credentials evaluation????
Drashti Joshi This is where I got ng credential evaluation: iescaree.com
Great Channel Alissa! If you’re a teacher working in Thailand, can you get the CFO in Thailand and then fly directly from Thailand to the USA?
There’s no need to get CFO if you are outside Philippines.
Hello ms alyssa😍 I would like to ask if it is qualified for a unit earner in education to apply for a j1 visa?

Hi po! I’ve been watching your vlogs because I am planning to apply as J1 teacher in the US. Tanong ko lang po, I already finished my academic requirements po sa aking MASTERS (36units). I am now in my thesis writing. What if po ga graduate ako by July 2023 here jn the Philippines pero yung TOR ko matatagalan pa bago makuha, and mg aaply na po ako sana once hiring na po ung J1 by 2023, do they acknowledge my 36units in MA? Hope to hear feedback
Let's say I am a J1 visa holder, am I allowed to pursue Ph.D. during weekends?
Hi, please brief about direct hiring?
Hi Ma'am! Thank you for this vlog. Can you recommend a school for me to directly apply to? Thank you!
Just search for schools in the US then apply in their website.
First po hahaha
Hello po☺ Are schools there offering H1B visa too? Thanks po☺
Hello teacher, I just want to ask if working as ALT in Japan is counted as Teaching working experience when applying to US?
Hmmm I think so as long as it is classroom teaching, not one on one
Thanks for this video! How do they assess English proficiency? Would they be specific band scores for IELTS for example? I’m a Dutch teacher moving to America with my spouse and will automatically be on a working visa I would have a visa. I’m mostly concerned about how prove my level of English. Thanks so much!
No
Hello Ma'am,PWD pa help po.gusto ko po malaman Kong paano ma trace Kong totoo ba ang job letter na natanggap ko
Hi what about Montessori school to get job
Thanks for this video.mam how cud it be a direct hiring/ application if you had an sponsor or agency? Pls enlighten me about this..thanks mam staysafe!
Thanks for this question. 😊
Well, there are two kinds of agencies: Sponsoring and Recruitment Agencies.
Direct hiring is applying and getting a job offer directly from the school. Since J1 visa cannot be given by an employer, you still need to have a sponsoring agency to process the J1 visa. Having a sponsoring agency is the only way to get a J1 visa. This is direct hiring because you are hired directly by the school. You contact the sponsoring agency after you are hired by the school. Sponsoring agency do not charge a lot of money. They have different rates but still they do not charge as much. These sponsoring agencies are designated by the US State Department to assist J1 teachers for the rest of their program and stay in the US.
Now, let’s talk about recruitment agency which is very common nowadays. Since, it is a challenger for some to contact school directly and apply , they tend to go to recruitment agency to help them find a school that hires J1 teachers. Most recruitment agencies charge teachers lots of money. Some are charging almost half a million pesos! 😣
This is not direct hiring since they are the one who will look for school in behalf of you.
I hope my explanation is clear. If you have more questions, just comment down below.
Good day po Teacher. Nagturo po ako ng English sa public secondary school sa DepEd SY. 2013-2019(6 years consecutive teaching experience in DepEd) (Permanent item). Then, nag-resigned po ako sa DepEd in 2019 at nagmoved sa Japan. Then, I have been working as Assistant Language Teacher po d2 sa Japan from 2020-present. 3 years na po akong Assistant Language Teacher d2. Pero, gusto ko po mag-apply ng USJ1 Teacher, ELIGIBLE po ba ako na mag-apply ng USJ1 Teacher kahit ASSISTANT LANGUAGE TEACHER lang po ang work ko d2? Or kailangan kop po na mag-resign d2 at bumalik sa DepEd pra mkakuha ng Teaching na ako MAIN TEACHER pra po maging ELIGIBLE? Please reply po. Salamat po.
Good day, Ma'am Alissa. May I know the sponsoring agency you applied for? I want to work abroad and teach in the U.S.

Hi Ms Alissa, thank you for your vlog. It's very helpful. I'd like to ask, once you've reached 5 yrs in the US, will you and your family go back to the PH for 2 years also?
I already changed my J1 visa to H1b visa since I have a Us citizen daughter. So, the anwer is no. We were able to stay beyond the 5 years.
Most teachers will go home after 5 years if they are not eligible for a J1 waiver. Watch my other video on how to be eligible.
Hi po Ma'am Alissa. thank you sooO much po sa inyong napaka informative na video. may tanong lng po ako. how much po ang naging bayad niyo sa agency po na nag process ng J1 Visa niyo? Salamat po.😊😊
Winzmark Obsioma $180 lang po tapos $200 each sa dependents ko. Napaka ganda ng agency ko compared sa iba.
Hi maam Alissa, can u advise me on how to apply directly? Where to find those schools who are hiring teachers thru J1 Visa? Thank you in advance
Search for schools in the US in Google then apply directly

So after 5 years, or during those 5 years teaching in the USA, let's say you wanted to stay in the USA. Can you apply for a different visa while still there?
TheFlash Stickman You can as long as you get a J1 waiver for the two years home residency requirement. I have made a video about. You can check it.
Hello Ma'am Alissa! Do you know any agencies that cater california j1 visa teacher programs?
Kem Estrella (HMT 3008803) watch all my videos sis. You will see some info there. :)
Hi mam! I would like to know how much is your total expenses during the application process? Thank you!
I have made a video about it..
Hello po. I’m a Bachelor of Music graduate po. I passed an interview and was hired na po from one of the schools sa USA. Waiting for my contract na lng po. The position that I was hired on is ‘Music teacher’ for high school in the USA. I have 3 years of experience teaching in a private elementary school on Music subject here in the Phils. But, I don’t have license po kasi I didn’t take LET po. However, my employer(school superintendent) in the US knew at the first place na I don’t have a license kasi I told him during the interview, but he still hired me. Do I still have that possibility to enter USA? Would my case be an obstacle in the American Embassy? Thank you so much po! God bless!
I think so
how to prove the sufficient English proficiency?
Hi teacher, i hear about sponsorship from the US? How does it work? Do you have any ide? Thank you.
Amilkadra Yusof Sponsorship doesn’t mean free. You will need a sponsor for your J1 visa after you get a job offer from a school.
Hi po ma'am, my mom is a teacher in T.L.E, but she has a degree in SPED and masters din Sya ng sped. Ask ko lang po may chance po ba sya kahit wala Syang experience sa SPED pro 8 yrs ung experience nya sa teacher yun nga lang sa tle po. Pwede po ba na sped ung iapply nya? I would really appreciate your response ma'am.
Experience is a must kaya let her experience sped muna bago sya mag apply ksi mahirap din ang work ng sped dito at walang training kaya dapat alam na nya ang work ng sped bago sya makapunta dito.
I'm interested to apply as an English teacher in your school. Can you help me?
Hello. I hold a bachelor's in English and I've been working for 11 years as an English teacher, but not in a school, but in English courses. Can I apply?
No full time classroom experience
Hello,po. I want to aapply for J-1 as well pero Online English Teaching experience for almost 4 years lang ang meron ako. May kakilala po ba kayong nakapasa parin for J-1 kahit ganun lang ang experience? Thank you po :)
nope need talaga full time CLASSROOM teaching
I have a question. How long does it take from the job offer to be able to actually work?
It really depends on how fast your sponsoring agency and you when it comes to getting the documents needed. Maybe a month before pandemic but now it will take more months since getting an appointment in the embassy is a challenge.
Teacher can a 2 years private school teacher can apply J1 visa? Or public school is a requirement?
Algen Neil Saludares Yes private school is ok
Is there a possibility or chance po to live in the US Forever after the 5 years contract?
meron if you will get a waiver. I will discuss it in my next video.
@@AlissaLifestyleVlog thank you.. How about sharing the link of the companies po na nag need nang direct hire teachers from Philippines or mkapag process nga J1? It would be my pleasure 😊
Good afternoon from the Philippines. Do you still need a driver's license to be part in the J1 teacher program?
Not mandatory

Hello teach. May I ask nirequire kba ng any documents from Deped sa Embassy during your interview?

What happens if you’re not working as a teacher in your native country when applying? Because I’m currently working in China .. I have taught in home country for two years though
Yes you can still apply

Drashti Joshi EPI is a recruitment agency and I have heard good things about it. Just continue. :)
Alissa's Lifestyle Vlog thank you dear..indeed you are very supportive.
Hi I have a question.
I teach full time for 1 year but for 2 Institute's, So will my work experience be counted as 2 year or one year only?
one year
@@AlissaLifestyleVlog Thanks for answering miss. It help me loat.
Hi, Ma’am! Since you are a J1 Teacher, naka uwi na po ba kayo dito sa pinas after ng contract mo? Thanks po😊
5 years po ang J1. I am still in my 4th year
Hi, Ms. Alyssa. I am working as a teacher here in Thailand..Will i be able to apply to this J1 visa even I am here in Thailand?
Yes!
@@AlissaLifestyleVlog I am a bachelor degree major in Mathematics. Will i have a chance to be hired?
Hello po. What if po kung walang teaching experience sa Pinas pero meron po abroad? Qualified po kaya mag J1 teacher?
yes
Madam I required spoken English teachers
Hi mam. I would like to know how much did you pay for the j1 visa agency after getting your job offer?
I paid $180 for my sponsoring agency and $200 each for my dependents (husband and child)
@@AlissaLifestyleVlog do you need show money po? If yes, how much?
Hi Ma'am Alyssa. May I ask if what are the strong ties that they'll accept?
I only have a deed of sale of a vehicle and a life insurance. Is it enough?
Jason Angutas Sir if it is a J1 visa, you don’t need any ties. Just make sure you showed to them that you are aware of the two years home residency requirement which neans you know that you are going to the US to teach only and to go home after the program.
Jason Angutas If it is a tourist visa, yes u need show ties. Maybe a working contract or certificate.
Thank you Ma'am Alyssa, I'm really hysterical right now kasi po dahil marami akong napapanood na vlogs regarding denied application. Huhuhu I actually had an agency which is EPI and waiting for my placement of school already. But, im still afraid what else will be questioned to me kapag nasa embassy na ako huhu
Jason Angutas Just relax. Yan ang pinaka key. Para lahat ng sagot mo controllado mo. Basta J1 approve yan unless may record ka na sa kanila which is wala naman dba? so just relax. And Pray. 🙏🇺🇸❤️
May I ask po maam Alyssa, if okay lang ba na may sister ako diyan sa US for 2 years na siya diyan she married an American citizen, and applied for citizenship already. Baka po sumabit ako sa question na yan baka akalain mag stay ako sa USA as TNT po. Okay lang po ba na yes talaga isasagot ko?
Hello po, where did you get your medical certificate maam?
Perpetual Hospital in Cebu
I am looking for a position in Washington or California. Do you know any sponsor agencies?
I did direct hiring. You find first a school then later ask them what sponsor they are affiliated,
so is it possible to apply for a J1 teaching even tho I dont have a BS in education?
as long as you have Masters in Education major in the field of your experience
Hello Ma’am, pwede pa rin po bang mag apply if expired na po yung PRC ID but nakapag book na po ng appointment for renewal. Thank you.
I think so. To be honest, I did not need my PRC license when I applied here.
@@AlissaLifestyleVlog Thank you po. Will try to find a school district po 😊
Kailangan po ba ng medical exam for J1 visa? Salamat po.
Yes
Miss alisa pwede po b maging permanent resident ang J1 Teacher aftr the program tnx po
