I can only hope OP is a troll. I have no idea whether my APs have/had credit cards. This is because they are adults and make their own decisions. If they want my advice, I am there for them.

We’ve had several au pairs and none of them ever got a credit card. They all used debit cards through their bank.

If an Au Pair is able to open a card, it's between them and the card issuer. Everybody else needs to stay out, including State Department.
She might be able to get a secured card, and we know what that means, right?! There's no fraud, she can only charge as much as the collateral.
It's the credit issuers job to keep card users accountable. Whether they committed a fraud at some point or not, is decided in the court, not on DCUM.
Why should the State Department stay out? We don't need more people in this country who are fraudsters, even if they are just here as tourists or temporarily. We have enough!
