[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

I'm so happy to know this :)

[@jasperracacho34]

Sarap naman pakinggan maam, parang nakiki pag one on one coaching ako sayo po. Hehe my visa schedule is in May, and south carolina din po ako. Continue helping aspiring teachers maam through your videos. God bless!

Good day Maam, How about if I have amended DS 2019? Should I bring the previous DS 2019?

[@francesannreyes6845]

Hello teacher Yan. What if my relative in the US is just my mother's half sister and family? Do I need to declare them?

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

If you don’t share the same last name, I guess it’s okay not to. This is just my opinion, though, so please take it with a grain of salt ☺️

[@nelsonmendoza1929]

Hello teacher! I hope this message finds you well. As a dedicated fan and subscriber, I regularly follow your KZbin videos and deeply appreciate your insights. I am reaching out to seek your valuable advice regarding my career. I passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) and worked as a licensed public Secondary English teacher with the Department of Education (DepEd) from 2013 to 2019. Since then, I have been an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) in Japan. I am now exploring teaching opportunities in the United States and would greatly appreciate your guidance on the best steps to take. Specifically, would you advise pursuing Special Education (SPED) units to enhance my chances of being hired? I understand that SPED teachers are in demand, and that it might be more challenging for Secondary English teachers to secure long-term positions and an H1B visa compared to SPED teachers. Your insights would be immensely helpful as I navigate this decision. Thank you very much for your time and advice. Sincerely, Nelson

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

SPED teachers do receive a higher compensation, so if you have the means and opportunity to pursue that, I say GO! :)

[@heraldampa]

Thank you so much maam.

This is one of the best videos I've watched being an aspiring J1 visa Teacher... very helpful..thank you maam❤️

[@antoncruz1711]

Hello po. I’m a Bachelor of Music graduate po. I passed an interview and was hired na po from one of the schools sa USA. Waiting for my contract na lng po. The position that I was hired on is ‘Music teacher’ for high school in the USA. I have 3 years of experience teaching in a private elementary school on Music subject here in the Phils. But, I don’t have license po kasi I didn’t take LET po. However, my employer(school superintendent) in the US knew at the first place na I don’t have a license kasi I told him during the interview, but he still hired me. Do I still have that possibility to enter USA? Would my case be an obstacle in the American Embassy? Thank you so much po! God bless!

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

Actually po, they never asked for a copy of our PRC ID or something. As long as the credential evaluation shows that your units are qualified, okay na po. Also, your service records showing that you have been teaching fulltime.

[@suzeikitties4488]

Hello Teacher Yan.. What subjects are we able to teach there if we graduated in business related courses here in the PH po. Thank you

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

Hi. Schools usually have elective courses which may include accounting and entrepreneurship, so I guess that may be an option for you. Just make sure that along with your business degree, you have sufficient education units to qualify for the program.

[@shallyrosezaragosafallore8610]

Hello madam please I will like to know the difference between these two question ...1) who you have an Agency? 2) WHO IS YOUR SPONSOR

Thank u so much..I see this very substantial..

You have to bring it with you to the embassy just in case they ask for it (although this seldom happens for J1)

Teacher Yan, hello. I already have an evaluated TOR and reciprocity license from NMPed, accepted po ba yan sa FACES or do they have partners for it? I am an applicant but so far, puro pa declined ang mga applications q. I have no MA, so I am going to enroll in MA in SPED next semester so I can up my qualifications. I have 31 years of experience teaching elementary but I think it's not enough.

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

Wow sa 31 years of experience po, ma’am! Salary here in the US is computed based on your years of experience and highest educational attainment. As to the evaluation, as long as translated to US credit system po and you can always ask to be sure.

[@ronaldkigame5674]

Very helpful

[@jeanettedelossantos]

Teacher Yan, do you have any idea about the follow up questions if you have immediate family members in the US like siblings? What should be the correct way to answer it? Thank you so much!

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

The correct answer should always be the truth po. And if they ask it that way, just answer yes or no unless they ask for more details.

[@ameerulhaque]

Does J1 visa has max age limit to apply for Indian candidates...plz do reply

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

I think it’s somewhere around 50-60 but i’m really not sure. Best to ask the specific Visa Sponsor.

[@jeffreyroycemontesclaroses9940]

Hello. Teacher yan, can u make video also about the Q and A in the USA immigration or port of entry. Thank you.

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

You'd be surprised of how easy that one is sir. All you need to know is your type of VISA, purpose of going to the US. That's it.

[@cherrymaepialago5783]

Hello po teacher yan..my younger brother is a teacher under Faces teaching at SC. What proper way of answering should i do?

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

hello po, ma’am. I’m not sure if this reply is timely pa but just be honest about it po. Just give the information that they’re asking and nothing more.

[@obystella4654]

Thanks for your information, please I want to ask if Teachers from Africa are eligible to apply

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

Definitely! I have coteachers from Cameroon ☺️

[@belle8694]

Good day. I wanna ask po, what if I don't have an immediate family in US but a relative? Will it be a problem passing my J1 VISA? Thank you

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

It won’t be. I also have my aunt and cousins here ☺️

[@nashkulot7630]

Hello! Im a TLE major graduate po. Pwede ba ako mag apply to teach other subject? Or anong pwede po applyan? Thanks!

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

Hi, po. It really depends on the programs that the school offers and on your major. But with the visa sponsor I'm with, we do not have a teacher with TLE as his/her major.

[@donnabeech6660]

First watching! Love this

[@desquitadoable]

Thank you so much, be there soon🙏

[@leenamathew190]

Is it okay if we say ' No' to the question regarding relative even if u have one in USA??

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

That would be risky since chances are they already know the answer even before you asked, especially if close relatives.

[@donbellethingz2957]

Hi Teacher Yan. If you have a doctorate degree here sa Philippines, may chance din po ba na mas mataas ang salary sa US? TIA

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

I just posted a video to answer this po. Please share to your friends who might also find it useful :)

Hi maam, is it true that there will be a driving test upon arriving in the United States and in case you failed you will go home and shoulder all the expenses going back?

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

Hi po ma’am, I can only speak for what my Visa Sponsor does. FACES does give us like a “driving test.” One of the staff would make us drive around the hotel but I’ve never heard of anyone being sent home because of bad driving.

Hi Yan My cousin resides in New York, but I am not in touch with her. So when they ask the relative question, what should I answer.

What are the credentials evaluation?

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

It is basically translating your transcript of records to the US points system as one of the bases for your salary.

[@misssweetzel2831]

How about taking spouse and child of the applicant? What are the processes that an applicant must undergo?

[@TeacherYan_iaVember]

That really depends on your sponsor. I know some allow the J1 to bring their J2s right away, while others wait a certain amount of time before they can process for their J2 to fly to the US.
