Professor USA
Sponsoring Your J-1 Professor Visa
CIEE Professor USA is for professors from around the world who wish to research, teach, lecture, observe, or consult in a university, research facility, library, or similar type of institution in the U.S. If that sounds like you – and you have a pre-arranged opportunity, but not a visa sponsor – then we can help.
Examples of Eligible Projects
A language instructor from Germany teaches the German language on a non-tenure track appointment at a university in Washington.
How It Works
Our goal is to make the application and immigration process easy. That way you can spend your time focusing on what really matters: international collaboration.
As a CIEE Professor USA participant, you will:
- Fill out an application and gather supporting documents
- Submit your application
- Schedule your visa interview with your nearest American embassy
- Book your airfare
- Travel to the U.S., visit your host organization, and get started!

Keep in mind that CIEE is not a placement service. In other words, we do not find host organizations on behalf of our participants. CIEE acts solely as the visa sponsor for participants who have pre-arranged opportunities in the U.S. Learn more about finding a placement.
