Can high school teachers get an H-1B? Are they exempt from the quota?

Print

High school teachers theoretically qualify for an H-1B. In practical terms, though, the timing of the quota makes it virtually impossible to actually get an H-1B. The problem is that most school years start in August or September, while H-1Bs do not become available until October. As a result, many school districts are very reluctant to hire a teacher on H-1B.

High school teachers are not exempt from the quota.
