Many schools have successfully addressed the teacher shortage by hiring H-1B teachers. These educators are vital in filling critical gaps, particularly in areas lacking domestic teachers, ensuring that students consistently receive a high-quality education. They bring diverse perspectives and unique cultural backgrounds to classrooms and contribute to the schools' retention through their potential long-term residency.​

The H-1B visa enables highly skilled international teachers to work in the United States with minimal restrictions. Schools face no limit on the number of H-1B teachers they can hire and can apply for this visa at any time throughout the year, without being constrained by annual caps. This visa is renewable for up to six years and offers the possibility of permanent residency, leading to continued employment—a benefit that most teachers appreciate.
This arrangement is particularly advantageous for schools committed to retaining talented educators and enhancing their academic performance.

Schools must create a client account on the GlobalHire platform. After logging in, we strongly recommend that schools review the service agreement if they haven’t done so already, before searching for candidates. This will help avoid delays in the hiring process.
The school must submit various documents to initiate the hiring process. These documents prove that the position is a specialty occupation, the teacher is qualified, and the job offer meets specific labor conditions. GlobalEd Solutions simplifies this process by providing templates and sample documents for reference, making it easier for schools to secure these essential documents.​
