You should look into how the H1 visa works. It's a lottery system. Only so many H1 visas are authorized per year by the federal government and large corporations will flood the system at that time of the year with requests knowing that they only need a small portion of their requests, but knowing that if they stuff the box with their requests, they will be able to get many more H1s than smaller companies who can only afford to request a few H1s, effectively crowding out small companies from the process. I have been saying for decades that Illegal immigration is a serious problem in this country, but the bureaucracy surrounding the legal immigration needs serious attention at the same time. If we, as a country, can streamline our immigration process, I believe many of the problems with illegal immigration will go away. Yes, let's build the wall, but also, yes, lets spend the resources on streamlining legal immigration.

Hopefully the US government can come up with the appropriate visa that will allow them to stay long term and perhaps lead to citizenship if the teacher wants.

I am an aspiring educator/teacher from the Philippines and I am looking forward also to teach abroad most especially in the US

It doesn't matter what race or culture the teachers came from. What matter is the heart of the teacher to touch more lives in progress.

Americans should be proud because these Filipino teachers are products of the US introduction of public schools (elementary and secondary) and institutions of higher learning in the Philippines. When Philippines was a US territory, Filipino children beginning from age seven were required to register in schools, providing them the opportunity to learn English. The first teachers were American soldiers. A group of 48 American teachers aboard the USAT Sheridan arrived in Philippines before the arrival of a large group of American teachers, known as the Thomasites, on board the USAT Thomas. My maternal great grandfather was one of their students and eventually became an elementary teacher. Some of the well-known universities established in the Philippines by the Americans are University of the Philippines (UP), Philippine Normal University and Silliman University. UP is the national university and considered the top university in the Philippines. My mom is an alumni of Philippine Normal University, an institution focus on training aspiring teachers. She became an international school teacher, and taught Algebra and Home Economics in high school. The Pensionado Act provided a scholarship program for Filipino students who excelled, sending them to the US to continue their studies and to become experts in their desired fields or professions. Thomas Mapua is one of the many recipients of this scholarship. He is the founder of Mapua University, one of the top Engineering university in the Philippines. Americans are the true pioneer of education and English proficiency in Philippines. They should not feel threaten by Filipino teachers taking the jobs away from them. They are actually only tasting the fruits of the labor of older generation of Americans, and should enjoy more of their harvests. These Filipino teachers are their rewards from the hard work of soldiers and teachers who served in the Philippines. I also understand that these teachers are earning more in the US than back in their homeland. However, American children are the ones benefitting from some of the best teachers from the Philippines instead of the Filipino children who are also in need of education.

It’s good to see that the school administrators in Montana have their heads screwed on straight and are willing to do whatever it takes to secure an education for the kids in rural America. I grew up in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming. The small towns there are basically satellites of Billings, MT. I am familiar with many of the problems that rural areas (like Shelby) are faced with. I made the most of my public education in Wyoming and graduated from UW in Laramie with a BSME. I later went on to graduate school earning an MSME from Purdue (West Lafayette, IN) and a PhD (Aeronautics/Astronautics) from Stanford (Palo Alto, CA). And after 40+ years living in various places all over the U.S., I still hope to return to Wyoming sometime before I expire (I am now retired). From the remarks made in the interview, it’s clear that the only problem with the Filipina instructors are those created by the U.S. immigration system and the J1 visas. As for the Filipinas themselves, all I can say is that you are damn lucky to have them. That said, I should probably confess that I may be more than a bit biased since I am married to a native Filipina that was trained as an elementary school teacher in the Philippines. She is now teaching pre-school kids here in Washington state and is highly regarded by her peers. And although we met in the Philippines, we’ve been married for more than 12 years, and she is now a naturalized U.S. citizen. We have two children, viz. a boy age 10 and a girl age 3. All in all, I’d just like to say “thank you” for putting the needs of the children first. And don’t worry about the weather being too cold for the Filipinas. You may not be aware of this, but there is a very large population of Filipinos in Alaska. Basically, they are willing to go wherever there is work for them. In general, they have a good attitude about it, and one of the basic tenets that I subscribe to is that “Attitude is everything.” Wish me luck as I try to convince my young pinay wife to move with me back to Wyoming.

J1 visa feels like a sort of visa that leverage Filipino teachers for 5 years, then abolish them. [one-time off] . J1 visa recruits Filipino teachers annually, and then they has become dependent to the rural areas of the US.

Every school wants high quality teachers. Many administrators failed to examine it is what they can or cannot offer. The quality of the community, the comfort level of being accepted, the willlingness to stand by the teacher under difficult situation, I did not mention money at all. Teacher needs to feel accepted and comfortable living there free from harassment and other nonsense. If the community cannot step it up, qualified teachers won't go there, period.

In 1899 the First Montana Volunteers went to the Philippines Islands ( now The Republic Of The Philippines) for what was then America's Philippine Benevolent Assimilation purposes. America sent shiploads of American teachers the "Thomasites"( around 600 American teachers aboard USS Thomas) so that Filipinos will be educated in the cherished and beloved American ways of life and thinking. Maybe just maybe it is time for Filipinos to give back Filipino teachers to help rural America.

Please do not make this bias statement for American teachers. There are many factors why local American teachers chose not to teach or lack the motivation to pursue the teaching career. Aside from salary, dealing with student behavior, handling parent expectations, admin support, and many more. It's easy to say, you must have passion in teaching but in reality it's a big responsibility to carry. I am only in my second year here in the US yet I can relate with American teachers' sentiments in fulfilling the role of the noblest profession. Legit American teachers do have passion and willingness to educate the students. They know the content, the standards, the strategies etc by heart, but because of the factors I have mentioned, teachers tend to get demotivated, not to mention the struggle to provide for your family if you are married with kids. The cost of living in America is really high, you cannot erase money from the equation. I challenge you to go and try teaching in any public school in the US and see it for yourself.

They would need to be sponsored and apply for an EB-3 visa. While the labor certification process to show that no qualified US applicants exist would be easy in a place like Shelby, the problem is final action dates. Sure, in the middle of a pandemic that resulted in countless visa holders losing their jobs, the philippines final action date is listed as current. But go back to the 2019 visa bulletins. When looking at the bulletin for May 2019, people who filled their applications on or after June 1st 2018 were being granted the right to finally be issued the visa they applied for. And since J-1 isn't dual intent, you cannot work under that category while your permanent residence visa application is pending. In fact, J-1 is an exchange visa with a two year home residency requirement before being allowed to apply for an immigrant visa (visas like F-1 or J-1 are non-immigrant, in the case of University students, non resident). If schools were willing to send out EB-3 petitions, and bring in J-1 individuals while they wait in line, they could allow some people to immigrate. Especially if they ask for candidates with a master's degree, to avoid US bachelor's holders with an alternative license from being treated as equally qualified as a teacher from abroad. Speaking more generally, some states like Kansas treat people with majors like english or biology as qualified for an alternative certification to teach that subject while they undergo part time coursework in teaching skills and curriculum development. Requiring a teaching master's that requires a teaching degree/emphasis at the bachelor's level would keep these less qualified applicants out of the hiring pool, making labor certification possible in underserved less remote areas.

Here's some more context on why states are forced to offer some alternative pathways. In 2017, teaching base pay in one KS rural district was $32,200. Just four years later, you can make $15 an hour working full time at a restaurant called Chipotle in some areas. You can make more working as a teller helping people deposit money into their bank accounts than you could teaching kids. And when you need $80,000 in student loans to avoid juggling work, school, and unpaid teaching practicums (senior year, for credit, takes up way more time than a typical class of that many credit hours would), it just doesn't seem worth it to get a teaching degree. www.ksn.com/news/report-ranks-kansas-last-in-salaries-paid-to-teachers-in-rural-school-districts/ www.cnbc.com/2021/05/22/wages-rise-at-the-fastest-pace-in-years-firms-profits-could-take-a-hit.html admissions.ku.edu/costs

Is the school district going to sponsor them to get their permanent residence once the J1 expires?

NextDayBetter you should assist them in securing sponsorship from you, to appy or change their visa classification. I am a H1A visa, RN. My employer helped us secure a permanent residency after 2-3 years of work visa. Maybe seek the help of an immigration lawyer. I’m sure it’s doable, like RN’s there was a huge need back in the 80’s-90’s, so the industry decided to get work force from the Philippines since we mainly got educated in Nursing using English, Canadian and American textbooks. Nursing in the Philippines was tailored from American system so there’s familiarity already, plus we speak English. A win-win situation!

I know this is an old comment, but J-1 isn't dual intent like H-1. J-1 even makes the applicant leave after their max of five years, and reside outside the US for two years before they can enter on an immigrant visa like EB-3. EB visas have different waiting periods due to per country limits, with filipinos who applied in 2018 having to wait about a year for their final action date to come. Look up visa bulletins if you are curious. That's why the school mentions them going home and taking a year to decide if they want to come back. Any viable pathway involves starting with a visa lottery and a high salary (H1-B), or going back home for 2+ years in between categories.

''We have a large native american population, Welcomed right away''--THIS!He doesn't even realise it, but that tought is so scary and so neo-xenophic. It may have been a slip on his part, but to think that the people who were ALREADY there are ''welcomed'' as of now, because of the ''good'' will of the resident....Anyway, I appreciated the work that this school director is doing. And the good exposition to new brown people to the kids. But there is still work to be done. This is a great exemple of concious capitalism!=)

Here's some advice as a Pinoy living in America. Don't go all "I'm brown in a white majority workplace poor me" because that's feeding into the victimhood mentality. The victimhood mentality - when nothing or something minuscule as happened - is one American mentality that's equally as pathetic and cringeworthy as actual racism. Mostly this mentality has been learned from social media and the press which usually portrays rural America as racist and close minded. It hasn't done African-Americans, Native Americans or Hispanics any good because people are waking up (big difference from being Woke) to the rhetoric, realizing it's mostly bull, and are becoming tired of it.

Filipino teachers need to make do .. because the alternative .. which is going back to the Philippines is far worst.. the sense of hopelessness in the Philippines is so pronounced that according to a survey conducted.. almost half of all Filipinos want to leave their country and seek greener pastures elsewhere in the world..

The US government has forgotten that we had American teachers and all our entire educational system started with the Americans. The colleges and universities founded by religious the Jesuits Ateneo, The Sto. Tomas'by the Dominicans, The San Carlos University by the Dutch religious were all Catholic Universities but really for the rich and elite of the Spanish occupation era. Even our national hero Dr.Jose Rizal went to these schools. Even the only state university back in the commonwealth era the University of the Philippines was erected by two Americans masons and founded in 1908 by late president Manual L. Quezon. The founders of engineering schools like the Mapua Inst. of Technology in Manila and Cebu Inst. of Technology in Cebu Island were products of American universities, the first Aeronautical Engineering school FEATI Tech have faculty with former US Airforce personnel many instructors we're war veterans from WWII the curriculum and syllabus of the engineering courses were copied and patterned from US schools. We have to remember and thank the Thomasites for our early education and command on the English language, science, and math! See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomasites. We are the only nation in the Far East that went through that.

it is wrong to say that the american established the school system in our country, University of San Carlos formerly known as Collegio de San Ildefonso was established 1595. King Philip II's Leyes de Indias (Laws of the Indies) mandated Spanish authorities in the Philippines to educate the natives, to teach them how to read and write in the Spanish language. However, the latter objective was difficult given the realities of the time the entire body of laws issued by the Spanish Crown for the American and the Philippine possessions of its empire. They regulated social, political, religious, and economic life in these areas. The laws are composed of myriad decrees issued over the centuries and the important laws of the 16th century, which attempted to regulate the interactions between the settlers and natives, such as the Laws of Burgos (1512) and the New Laws (1542).

In the much vaunted economic world of the US, the capitalist virtues stand out. Competition and supply and demand, right? The result of this system NOT being implemented is shown in this issue. Drive down salaries and working conditions to the point where no qualified American will take the job. Capitalist solution? Increase both to attract employees. American solution? Hire cheap labour from outside the country to fill those jobs. Problem solved! Only it isn't solved, is it.

What do you mean savages? We're genuinely curious.

Most Filipino professionals are race and culture agnostic, they don't even care what your religion is. It's the same in the Philippines. We welcome peaceable people of every kind in our neighborhood, even gays and transvestites. You respect your neighbors and you'll be respected and treated well. The Karens and Kevins among us are weirdly the ones who stayed so long in race baiting woke countries like the US that start having problems here. They bring home with them the sense of entitlement and an attitude saturated with incessant focus on race and non existent victimhood. There is a nugget of wisdom in recruiting police here that says, If you want an honest police, recruit from the academy. In a rapidly devolving country like the US, you need professionals specially educators that doesn't come automatically from the US. Recruit from the Philippines because they have the best economic and professional mentality to stick to the essence and rigor of the job. Imagine hiring a maid who feels like they are entitled to wear your clothes and take your stuff too. Filipino professionals are never ever like that. They will demand the agreed pay and they'll do the job faithfully. No need to worry they'll color outside the lines. You'll need to pay them a lot more to do that.
