[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is more likely that she is looking for a host family that is willing to house her illegally after her au pair term is up while she pursues studies and/or just works for them. Before we started hosting au pairs, we had a full time nanny and it was very difficult to find a good and reliable person in DC who was willing and able to be paid legally. It was also outrageously expensive. So I think there are a lot of families out there who are willing take the risk.[/quote] Interesting how APs are willing to throw state dept regulations out the window when it benefits them[/quote] Weve known host families who have sponsored their aupairs as students. We also know aupairs who have stayed illegally and with their prior host family. Let her do what she wants to do because it takes alot of chutzpah to stay illegally in a country as a young person or to ask a random family to sponsor your education visa. I would take the reigns for your own childcare. She will leave when she finds a family. I have a feeling she was telling you this as a lead in for your response to be, "Oh no. Don't leave. We will sponsor you." You can do research and see if that is something you feel comfortable with.[/quote]
