Au Pair Denied Visa - Have You Dealt with this?

[Anonymous]

Our soon to arrive au pair was denied a visa. Embassy said they feared she would not return at the end of her year. Agency rep in-country says agency has little ability to pressure embassy so we are trying to work with our congressional office and are writing a letter of support. Has anyone successfully dealt with this?

What country is she from? I think that will tell you her chances. If she is from a country with lots of au pairs she has a good chance of getting it next time. The agency should be able to coach her and your letter may help. --Former LCC

It all depends on what country your ap is coming from. Asia and some Eastern Europeans are tighter now. South America has always been hit or miss; for the most part I would say 80% or so bad no issues from SA.

If your Ap is from South Africa or something, and white - they are turning them down all the time now.

I have heard a lot of Thai au pairs are getting denied.

For general reference, a HF in my area had a prospective AP from Colombia get denied her visa recently. Apparently because they thought she didn't have enough reason to come back home.

Tides have turned against whites there government legalized land claims against them; basically returning land to the tribes the whites took it from a long time ago.

Whites in Zim and SA are leaving in large scales and US has clamped down on their visas for concern of them not leaving. tourist visas are really hard to get now even.

What happens if your AP visa get denied? does this cost the HF? or HF just go back and start searching again?

I thought Trump wants the white South Africans to come here?

Uh because they are on the cusp of genocide. White people are pouring out of there in exodus.

My friend's AP was denied the first time, but the agency got involved and they interviewed her again and she was approved quickly. There was a misunderstanding the first time.
