How long can the guest teacher stay?
The guest teacher will work at the host institution from August 2011 until the end of the contract period (no later than August 2012), with an option to renew the agreement for one or two additional years (2012–2013, 2013–2014), if both parties agree. The maximum length of stay in the U.S. for any guest teacher is three years, which is one of the J–1 visa requirements.
