[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you hold any sort of position in the govt or as a contractor for the govt be careful about taking on a communist chinese au pair.  Ask yourself - would your parents have taken on an Au Pair with a t-shirt that read CCCP at the height of the cold war?[/quote]

Silly comment - the State Dept. sponsors the US Au Pair Program, farming out recruiting to a dozen domestic non-profit agencies.  State standardizes rules governing the program, and program benefits, across agencies.

State has been issuing 2-year J-1 visas to Chinese au pairs since 2006.  China now has one of the highest visa acceptance rates (90% plus of applicants interviewed at US embassies and consulates on the mainland) of the counties in the program, around 80.  Several years ago, only a handful of au pair agencies recruited from China; now most do.  We know members of the Senior Executive Service who've hosted Chinese au pairs for years.  We haven't had any security clearance issues related to hosting Chinese au pairs (my spouse has a top secret clearance).
