Hello Teacher Yan! Thank you for this video. Like you, I also had my application with EPI last 2019. I was scheduled for Principal Interview twice but unfortunately I was not chosen. After watching this video, I’m inspired to apply again this time with FACES. Thank you for igniting again the hopes in me to teach in the USA. God bless you po Teacher Yan ❤️
Aww, this warms my heart. Praying for your application and God always has the best and perfect timing! :)
Thanks l, Teach!
very helpful..thank you!
oh, thank you... this is very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou very much.
Thank you so much, Ma'am!
Maam, I would like to ask if I could apply even if quit working in public school 1 year ago. I had 5 years experience in public school but I'm not currently working now. So will they hire a teacher who is not currently teaching now?
Most welcome!
thank you maam for sharing this information... Keep safe .
Thank you
Hi po..Thank you for this informative content..Actually I am a US J1 teacher aspirant, under FACES also, this time I’m only waiting to have a school district job offer..and based on ur previous vlog, malapit na ako sa dulo 😊❤ but still praying for a positive outcome soon..Thanks po teacher Yan 😉
So excited for you, ma'am! Districts will start interviewing teachers around April or May. God bless you!

Hi ma'am through my agency am also waiting for school district interview.my agency arranged an Interview in texas but interviewer didn't turn up.
Is it because they only start interviews in april or may
Please reply
@@TeacherYan_iaVemberpls reply
Thank you so much for sharing this video, its really insightful. How much do they pay the teachers per month?
very charming, Teacher Yan. Hi po! Just want to ask about the 1 year car driving experience requirement of FACES. I have heard that it really is a must but is there other way to work around that? I've also heard that motorcycle driving is not accepted. It is a dilemma for the ones who don't own cars. I hope it is possible
Thank you so much for the information. New subscriber here💚
Thank you for subscribing. Hope my video helps :)
@@TeacherYan_iaVember yes it really helps. Thanks so much💚
Thanks for the idea maam🥰
Magtatanong lang po ako if familliar po kayo sa Global Teaching Partners? Same din po bah ito ng EPI or FACES?
Hello teacher Yan. I am also a J1 Teacher aspirant under EPI and hoping that my application would be successful. For now, I am still waiting for updates from EPI and praying that I will be employed there soon. Thank you so much for all your videos. They are all informative and helpful for newbies like us. God bless po.
Super happy to helo, ma'am! I pray for your future journey :)
Can I apply for both EPI and FACES at the same time? when do they start accepting applications?
I'm choosing EPI and waiting for mg NBI results so that I can upload it on my application process and submit my application🙆
Hello ma'am, nice video
Thanks a lot :)
Hello teacher yan, with FACES, do they accept fce from wes or spantran? Hope to notice
Please can you help me know more about GEC. Thank you.
hi teacher yan!.. How about bringing the family dependents?.. Allowed po ba sa FACES na kasabay sila na aalis?
Hi Mam, I want to ask if you are direct hiring then you choose EPI it is possible?
Hello teacher yan. I really find ur videos very helpful especially that I am also with the same sponsor as you. Ahm I have a question if u don't mind, u mentioned in the video that based on ur experience you bring an amount which is less than what faces required you. Right? Is it okay to faces when u arrived their in South carolina? And if u don't mind me asking also, how much did u put in ur bank account. Because like you, I don't have also that kind of money. Thank u teacher yan.
Hello, sir. FACES technically didn't how much money I had when I flew, hehe, but I had ready backup plans like friends I borrowed money from in case. If i'm not mistaken, I think I had half of what was required.
Thank u teacher yan
hi Mam Yan, can i ask the link of FACES.. or any suggestions how to apply.
How about GEC mam?
I appreciate you sharing this excellent vid, Ms. Yan. Could I just ask if it is acceptable for you to apply without a master's degree? BSEd-Biology po yung undegrad course ko and currently working in DepEd magthre-three years na.
Definitely! You don’t need to have a post-graduate degree; it would just be an advantage salary wise.
Any idea regarding TPG cultural exchange?
Good day ma'am. CLARIFICATION, I can only contact FACES once I have received a JOB offer in one of the schools in south Carolina, or do they also facilitate helping me with my application so I could get a job offer? I just want to be sure, because as you said, FACES is not an agency, but a sponsor.
They also facilitate and look for a school for you.
Under EPI po ba ang Arizona?
Hi maam... Do both sponsors allow me to bring my husband and 5yo daughter with me right away? Thank you.
Pwede po bang patingin po ng sample nyo ng recommendation letter. Salamat po
Teacher please can you make a video on how you can buy a car as a j1 teacher who just came to the United States
Editing this one now ☺️
Mam can I take my family members along with me on epi
pag po ba J1 visa, after 5 years babalik sa pilipinas? or are their other visa na pwede pa rin magcontinue?
Do they hire Business teachers ?
Thank you so much.
I would like to ask link for FACES?
www.facesinc.org/
Thank you teacher Yan
When does FACES close application for each academic year?
It has already started :)
Hi teacher Yan. Just want to commend your channel. Very helpful po. I'd like to ask if documents like property titles, SSS/GSIS/Pag-ibig are one of the requirements for a J1 visa? Thank you sa reply and God bless.
Hello, po. I prepared them just in case the embassy looks for them (but they didn't).
Nasa approved stage na ako ng EPI even without a driver's license.
Update: Hinanapan na ako ngayon ng driver's license. Hindi naman daw requirement, pero malawak daw yung coverage ng application mo kapag driver.
How do u plan to this? Dont they require a year experience in driving?
@@angelaclairecostoy4358 I got my DL already. I think hindi naman kelangan ang years of experience in driving sa EPI. I think sa FACES yan na requirement.
@@anything5247have you been offered a job already po?
Hello teacher Yan, new sub here. What subject area are you teaching? Just curious. Thank you
Hello, ma’am. I’m teaching English ☺️ Thank you for the support
Hi Teacher Yan, can one apply for both EPI and Faces at the same time? And can one also upload a temporary drivers license whilst she waits for the original. Thank you.
Hello ☺️ Yes, you can definitely apply to both. With the driver’s license, they need the actual because they need to know that you’ve been driving.
Thank you
Hello teacher. How long does it take when you are on step 2 before relocating to US?
It's really a case-to-case basis.
What about IAG
Hi Teacher Yan! Will there be no problem with EPI approved teacher applicant to apply to FACES since both of these VS cater to South Carolina? Much appreciate your video
There shouldn’t be any problem, sir. I actually did the same thing ☺️
@@TeacherYan_iaVembercan u pls give me a reply on my question in other comment
Hi teacher Yan! May I ask if any of the sponsors require an annual sponsor fee? Thank you very much
More power.
I think they do but it doesn’t come from us. They get paid by the district ☺️
@@TeacherYan_iaVember Thank you very much. God bless you more. 🙏🙏
Hi Teacher Yan. Have you undergone FCE with Spantran or other evaluators? Hm have you spent?
I think I did mine with ECE and it was around $180.
Mam what we have to choose in spantran for teachers is it course analysis or teacher analysis.
Tumatanggap po ba sila kahit unemployed ka?
Hello is drivers license both EPI and FACES really needed?
Yes.
Hi Teacher Yan. Just watch this video and got me interest to this. One question i have in mind is that, are they both (EPI and FACES) require age limit as teacher? Thank you in advance for your response. God bless po. 🙏🥰
As far as I know, as long as you’re not retired, healthy, and able, they will consider you.
Please I want ask if it is possible you can be approved by faces but cannot get school?
It is possible.
"Hello! I have a question regarding working overseas. If I'm applying directly in FACES without going through an agency in the Philippines, will the POEA still allow my travel? I've heard different things about this process, and I'm trying to understand the best way to proceed. Thanks in advance for your guidance!"
Hello. POEA had nothing to do with any step when I was processing.
Hello Teacher Yan, I received an email yesterday that my application is on hold. I don't really understand as to why. Please do you have any idea as to why? Thank you
Hello. Are you referring to an application with FACES?
@@TeacherYan_iaVember no please, it's EPI
hello Teacher Yan. I just got hired at richland county school. I wish I can talk to you personally for some inquiries. I really want to know more about SC
Hello.. please when was you FACES application approved?
thanks for this ma'am ❤️ very informative 💯
i am planning to apply now🫢
God bless you on your application, Sir. Excited to hear some good news from you ☺️
@@TeacherYan_iaVember hopefully may hiring for Math teachers (middle school)🙏
Please when does FACES starts hiring I mean which month. Thank you.
Hiring season usually starts January
Hi Miss Yan, is it possible for me to get hired without MA SPED, BSEd English with MA english🥰
As long as as you have an education degree and at least 2 years full-time teaching experience, you are qualified ☺️
Hi Teacher Yan! I am also a teacher here in the Philippines and planning to apply to teach in the US, but my concern is, i am teaching Filipino subject. Do you think they will hire me or do i have a chance to teach in the US?
This can be tricky, ma’am, because the foreign languages here usually are Spanish. Are high school po ba?
Do you need drivers lisence to apply for visa sponsorship?
Most of the sponsors do require, especially if you will be assigned in smaller cities with no public transportation.
Very informative. Thank you and God bless ❤️
I prepared like 2k , would they allow it?
In USD? Visa sponsors don't really check like that; it's more for you.
Is mandatory to show the fund while doing the visa processing with EPI? How much is the minimum amount I need to show for myself ?
If i remember it right, I made sure that I had at least PhP50k-100k in my account.
You do it before applying, it is one of the requirements otherwise your profile is not processed.
Need po ba ipa evaluate muna ang ang mga credentials (FCE) bago mag apply sa school district? or ok lng po na later lng ang FCE? Scanned copy of TOR and Diploma lang po muna esend sa school district for application? (Direct Hiring)
I think mostly need the FCE first since it's their basis if you're qualified to teach or not according to your degree.
Faces require SSN? But I don't have one..were could I get my SSN ?
You will get your SSN once you get here in the US
Maam Yan, I'm not currently working in public school because I quit working in public school 1 year ago. However, I worked in public school for 5 years .But now I'm not currently working . Do you think I will get hired maam Yan?
Hello, ma’am. I’m not quite sure but I remember that they require you to be currently teaching at the time of your application. To be sure, you can reach out to the sponsor to ask ☺️
Hello, madam, please can a french teacher apply? Thank you.
As far as I know, there are schools which has French classes as an elective. It always pays to send an inquiry to your target visa sponsor :)
how about the teachers have thr existing loan?
I had mine when I left the Philippines. I just had my brother pay otc since I got here.
Hello Teacher Yan, please how do I pay for my Credential Evaluation fee. Please I need help.
I paid $180 for mine.
Teacher Yan, is this credential evaluation fee refundable?
How long have been there?
I'm on my third year :)
Hello Teacher Yan. Thank you for sharing this video.
Itatanong ko lang po kung may signing bonus po kayo nung dumating diyan?
Hello. If you’re hired through a Visa Sponsor (which you don’t pay anything to), you won’t receive the signing bonus po.
😊😊hi Ma'am Im planning to Apply for J1 po. Ask ko po, can I take my husband with po, gusto ko sana sabay kami ni Mister. Ina-allow po ba ng EPI at FACES..thanks po sa tugin maam God Bless you.
Are these sponsorships open to every country?
Yes
hi mam yan, ask ko lang pwede ba magkasabay si j1 and j2 sa faces?
It's case-to-case basis. Although, I have heard cases when both J1 and dependents flew in at the same time.
@@TeacherYan_iaVember thank you Maam yan 😍, same kami teachers pero isa sa amin mag j2. God bless po. hope to see you in personal...
Helloo teacher yan.. may i ask po if how many years is your contract po?
All J1 visas are at a 3-year default contract. Then, your school may request a 2-year extension.
how many years is your contract po teacher yan?
All J1 teachers have 3 years + 2-year extension
Which month is the best time to submit application po?
Now 😊
Teacher yan, how much did u reflect in your bank statement?
I will have to check my files, but I think it was around PhP100k-150k
Thank u...I am trying to apply for the next school year .they replied asking about my FCE regarding one subject@@TeacherYan_iaVember
@@angelicapalaa-zaragoza9447 Is it your specialization?
Yes , they mean I have to ask my school where I graduate regarding to one subejct if there's a laboratory,it's like a confirmation. I am a general Science major but don't have yet masteral degree .only 42 units in Management..am I qualified?
Hello teacher! Do they also accept elementary teachers?
Definitely!
Hi Teacher yan, does FACES accepts applicants po na PE teachers?
You can try sir. I'm sure EPI does.
Wow your school is abbreviated as a disease. Nice.
Hi.Teacher Yan! Love your video so much. Really wanna follow you to apply J1 teacher and hopefully you can help me.🥹🥹🥹
Lot’s of love. ❤❤❤ Thank you!
I hope the videos I’ve made and will be making helps. ☺️
Madam, I have been a french teacher in a school in India.. Am I eligible to apply for a J1 visa for the U.S.A.? Please reply
Some schools do have French as their foreign language class. I guess it's about finding a visa sponsor that can help place you in such schools.
