[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how is she going to get a travel visa for 9 months?  a tourist visa is only 3 months.

if you want to do it legally, contact an Au Pair agency.  you can get a discounted rate for finding your own Au Pair.  They will sponsor her and get her a visa.

as PP said, Au Pair stipend in $200/week for up to 45 hours of work, plus room and board

Thank you for the advice. I am not sure how they planned to arrange her visa. I know their oldest daughter did a similar arrangement 5 years ago. I don’t know how it worked though, legally speaking.

They did mention she would have to travel back to France 3 times throughout the year(2 weeks each time for various reasons. Could that possibly be a way they are skirting around visa laws?

That said, I don’t want to skirt around any laws. I will turn the offer down if we have to do anything illegally but they’ve never been that type.

They didn’t bring up the idea of an au pair agency but we are still pretty early in the discussion process of this.  It will be nearly 2 years before this happens. [/quote]

We've had Au Pairs for several years now, and in the last year or so, they've been asked many more questions when coming to the U.S. My recent Au Pair went home for a visit and had a hard time coming back to the U.S. to finish her her.  Her friend who was coming to visit her boyfriend got rejected- they had been dating long distance and that never happened before.  My prior Au Pair who comes back to visit every year or so said immigration was much more stringent this time around.  Immigration is really cracking down on tourist visas and turning people away.
If you are serious about this girl coming for any longer than 3 months, she should really do it legally through an Au Pair agency for a year (she can go home early)
