What is Teach-USA?
Teach-USA helps Filipino teachers secure a job in New Mexico, US and nearby states.
2
Can I pay for my evaluation first and then pay for my license after I pass the interview?
Sure.
3
NM Licenses will not be issued without Social Security Number. What will happen next?
As of January 2017, NMPED has implemented a requirement that all applicants seeking teacher license will need to submit a copy of the social security card before the release of the license. In the NMPED license database, it will remain pending until a copy of a valid social security card is issued.
School districts will decide if they would like to move forward knowing an applicant has an approved license and the only reason it is pending is that there is no SSN yet.
Social Security Numbers can only be applied here in the USA with the Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor Status, letter from J1 visa sponsor, and a job offer.
Teach-USA will help applicants with the application for SSN.
4
What is the validity of the licenses?
NMPED Licensure Bureau issues three levels of licenses for educators. The annual base salary and validity of the licenses depend upon the levels.
Level 1 → fewer than 3 full school years experience → $34,000 — license valid for 5 years
Level 2 → 3 – 5 years experience → $42,000 — license valid for 9 years
Level 3A → 6 or more years experience → Master’s Degree → $52,000 — license valid for 9 years
5
Can we really reciprocate our Philippine teaching licenses to NM teaching licenses?
Yes. For more information on reciprocating Philippine teaching licenses to New Mexico teaching licenses, please read this NMAC Rule at http://www.nmcpr.state.nm.us/nmac/parts/title06/06.060.0004.htm
6
Do I have to take tests before I can apply for teaching license?
No, it is not required, unlike in other states.
At least not yet, I hope they will not require an English proficiency test to applicants.
7
What will happen if I didn’t pass the job interview?
If you didn’t pass any of the school districts’ interviews, then you will not be charged for anything. You have 5 years or 9 years to make it happen for you. Just try and try again…
8
How much will I pay for the credential evaluation, FBI background check, and NM license?
Please email https://www.teach-usa.net/initial-requirements.
9
What is a credential evaluation?
A credential evaluation services organization in the USA will evaluate your Philippine education credentials and will provide its USA equivalency. The final evaluation will be used to process your NM teaching license.
10
Will I go back to the Philippines after my visa expires?
Yes. There is no place like home.
Yes. Unless you file a waiver and find a district who will sponsor green card or H1b for you.
(please see https://www.teach-usa.net/the-process).

11
Can I bring my husband/wife and children?
Absolutely, but it is best if you settle first.
After three months, you can decide to have them join you here.
Teach-USA will help you process their visas.
You husband/wife can work legally with the visa.
Your children? They get a free public K-12 education.
12
Do you profit in the processing of visas and tickets?
No. You will directly pay the J1 Visa Sponsor your visa fees, and tickets you will purchase your own.
13
Do I pay for your services fees upfront (like what all other agencies are asking)?
We do require a $2500 down payment after the approval of your visa. The $2500 balance is payable for six months, a month after your first paycheck.
It is just fair to pay for the services we rendered at a price we deserve.
14
How do I apply?
Just follow the guidelines found on the Initial Requirements page at our website: https://www.teach-usa.net/initial-requirements.
15
Do you have an office in the Philippines?
No, we only have lawyer presence.

Do I need to pay first the amount needed for licensing and evaluation before I get to the job interview?
Good day mam Gemma. I already have an evaluation of educational credentials for USA when I applied teaching in other agency last February 2019. Can I use this document so that I could no longer pay $400 for evaluation? Thank you

I have already my International Credential Evaluation Result of the College and Master's Transcript of Records. It was evaluated by the World Education Services last June 2017. Would it be acceptable to submit the evaluation result by WES rather than requesting other copies of TORs from my former university?
how much? please see https://www.teach-usa.net/initial-requirements.
Question: What if i already spend money for licensing and evaluation but i failed? Is there a refund?
Answer: I wonder why you have to spend money for licensing and evaluation if you plan on failing? The money you spent for license will give you a license, and evaluation papers. Do you want to return those documents processed for you? or would you want to try and try until you succeed with your goal?
