Which visa types are most common for education roles in Oregon?

J-1 visas are frequently used for visiting researchers and exchange professors at Oregon's major universities. O-1 visas apply to distinguished educators and researchers, while TN visas serve Canadian and Mexican educators in qualifying specialty positions.
What are the prevailing wage requirements for education jobs in Oregon?
Oregon's prevailing wages for education positions vary by role and location, with Portland metropolitan area typically showing higher wage requirements than rural areas.

Community colleges and technical institutions may offer competitive packages that satisfy visa requirements.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored education jobs in Oregon?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
