H-1B & J-1 Visas: A Practical Hiring Playbook for School Leaders event banner

Join Michelle Scimecca of Larson King LLP and Matthew Conley of Lattice Global Teachers for a practical walkthrough of hiring international teachers. 

We will cover when to use H-1B visas and when to use J-1 visas, how the two pathways can complement each other, and what the latest federal signals mean for districts this hiring season. Expect clear guidance on timelines, budgeting, licensure, and risk management, with checklists you can take back to your team.

You will learn:

  • How to choose between H-1B and J-1 for hard-to-staff roles, and what each path requires from HR.
  • A backwards plan from offer to first day of school, including critical filing and onboarding milestones.
  • Total cost map, including filing and legal fees, sponsor fees, insurance, relocation, and payroll implications.
  • Common pitfalls that delay starts, and practical ways to avoid them.
