APPLICATION PROCESS

Submit your initial application. Our recruiters review your credentials to ensure you meet the J-1 BridgeUSA requirements:

• A degree equivalenta to a U.S. Bachelor’s in Education or your subject area.
• At least 2 years of full-time teaching experience.
• Current employment as a teacher (or recent advanced degree completion).
• Fluency in English.

 Once screened, we help you gather your "Teacher Dossier." This includes:

• Foreign Credential Evaluation (FCE): We guide you on how to get your degree validated for U.S. standards.
• Professional References: Collecting at least two solid recommendations from previous supervisors.

 This is where it gets exciting! We present your profile to our partner school districts (primarily in Florida and throughout USA). You will participate in virtual interviews with U.S. school principals to find the perfect fit for your skills. 

 After you accept a job offer, we work with the designated sponsor to issue your Form DS-2019 (Certificate of Eligibility). This is the golden ticket you need to schedule your J-1 Visa interview at the U.S. Embassy in your home country.

You don't do this alone. CrossBorder provides:

• Pre-arrival orientation so you know what to expect.
• Housing and Social Security assistance once you land.
• Certification support to ensure you are legally ready to teach on day one.
