Want to move to Tampa from uk - college teacher needs your help!
Hi everyone!
I am currently studying at The Institute of Education to get my Post-Compulsory PGCE (Masters Level) in order to teach in UK colleges and sixth-forms.
I am desperate to move to Florida as I have many friends there from previously studying in Tampa Bay for a semester.
My question is:
As a qualified teacher, would I be likely to be legible for a green card? If so, how possible is it that I could be successful in my applications?
Also, what is the pay like in the education sector at the moment? It is quite well paid here in the UK so I am hoping to earn a reasonable wage.
Some advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Joey,
Welcome to the site. It's actually quite difficult to move to the USA. I suggest the first thing you should is to read this page in the wiki and see if any of it applies to you.

Sue

My husband and I are both teachers. We looked into moving to USA originally, but we were told that we would have little chance of getting in - as they have more than enough teachers already. However, they did say that if we could teach Spanish, then we would have a much better chance.

Think you'd need to speak to a good agent.
Good luck,
