J-1 Teacher Fees & Guide

•   The Teacher may withdraw from the program at any time prior to signing a formal Job Offer without any financial penalty.

•   If the Teacher cancels their application or withdraws from the program after signing a formal Job Offer/Employment Contract, the $500 security deposit shall be forfeited to Cross Border as a cancellation fee to cover recruitment, administrative, and school coordination costs.

•  If the Teacher’s J-1 Visa is denied by the U.S. Embassy through no fault of their own, the $500 security deposit is fully refundable. To process this refund, the Teacher must provide:
• A copy of the official visa denial letter from the U.S. Embassy/Consulate.
• Proof of the original DS-2019 form.

•   Approved refunds will be processed and returned to the Teacher within thirty (30) days of receiving the required denial documentation.

 No refund of the security deposit or any paid installments will be issued if:

• The Teacher provides fraudulent or misleading documentation during the application process.
• The Teacher fails to attend the scheduled visa interview.
• The Teacher withdraws from the program after the J-1 Visa has already been granted.
• The Teacher terminates their employment early after arriving in the United States.
