Trusted Legal Help

Legal Resources For International Teachers

Finding the right immigration support is crucial — especially when your future in the U.S. depends on it. That’s why we’ve partnered with select immigration attorneys who understand the unique needs of J-1, H-1B, and international educators.

These legal professionals offer services such as:
✅ J-1 waivers (including hardship and no-objection)
✅ H-1B transitions and cap-exempt strategies
✅ National Interest Waiver (NIW) green card applications
✅ Family-based petitions and long-term visa planning

All legal consultations and services are handled directly by the attorney. Teach-USA does not provide legal advice or collect any legal fees.
Our goal is simply to connect international teachers with trusted professionals who understand the path you’re navigating.
