A Nigerian woman’s TikTok post has rapidly gained popularity, disseminating valuable insights to a wide audience.
Addressing educators through this digital platform, she elucidates the process for applying to teach in the United States from their respective countries.
Guiding educators interested in U.S. opportunities, the woman, known as @evamtalii on TikTok, explains that TPG Actual Exchange, a recognized J1 visa sponsor accredited by the US Department of State, administers this program.
She elaborates that international educators are eligible to participate in this program for a duration of up to five years, starting with a three-year visa. Following the initial period, there is an option to extend for an additional two years, culminating in a total of five years of teaching in the U.S. However, it is mandatory for participants to return to their home countries for at least two years following the program’s conclusion before they can re-enter the U.S. on a J1 or immigrant visa.
In her message, she states: “For teachers residing in their native countries and keen on teaching roles in the United States, this video holds a significant opportunity. You can relocate to the USA as a teacher utilizing the J1 visa. The opportunity is facilitated through an actual exchange program managed by TPG Actual Exchange, a certified J1 visa sponsor for teacher exchange visitors, designated by the US Department of State. Teachers in their home countries can partake in this exchange program for a span of up to five years, initially granted a three-year visa by the U.S. government.
