R1 for a childcare educator in Catholic School

[msamson1ca]

Hi everybody,

I live in Canada and will soon move very close to the border. (on canadian side). My wife is a childcare educator and my kids will attend a school located in the US. (15 minutes from where we are going to live) The school is a catholic school offering pre K to Sixth grade. My wife will have to find a job once there and we ask ourselves if she could qualify for a R1 visa as a child educator for a catholic school.

I know R1 visa permit individuals to work in a religious occupation but is a childcare educator in a catholic school could qualify ??

Any advice are appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Martin
