[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Au Pair is in love.  She has been with this guy for a year.  She ends with us next month and is scheduled to go home.

This boyfriend is trying to convince her to just stay illegally.  He doesn't want to get married "just yet."

She knows it will be hard to find a job, make money, live comfortably, etc.  She has been pushing back on him.

She has heard that if she says illegally, and then gets married, she will be totally fine and the illegality is washed away.  She is probably right.

But what if she doesn't get married, and then wants to go home.  Anyone seen this?

How will she board a plane?  What will happen?  And what is on her record that may hurt her later?  Eg., can't ever come back to the US?

I discouraging this for a number of reasons, including I have never met this guy!  And her mom is concerned too.

So I just need more information to share.

Note that this is not an AP that came her to get married.  She loves her family back home.  I have had APs with this goal, but she isn't one of them.

Thanks!

It's nice of you to try and get her some answers .  I agree probably a bad idea because she'll become dependent on the bf, but young love isn't logical. 
Help her or at least suggest that she do a consultation with an immigration attorney. In my state you can go through your county's bar and get a 1 hour meeting with an attorney who specializes in your particular area of legal concern at a minimal cost (I think around $60?). 
I used that service to meet with an employment lawyer years ago and it was awesome.  The attorney met was a publisher author who had worked for the EEOC before going to private practice. The hour with him was lifesaving - check into it, it's a great option if available to get a quick basic overview of what could happen to her if she ends up staying
