Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Fri Apr 15, 2011 2:31 am
This is a scam. The au pair position does not exist, and the agency is fake and will not obtain any documents for you.

If you are looking for an au pair position in the USA, please contact the US Embassy in your own country to check the US entry requirements. You can find the genuine US Embassy website here:

http://www.usembassy.gov/

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.

Attached APPLICATION FOR VISA AND DOCUMENT.doc reads:

This are some information about the Kind of Visa i am offering you, it can’t be done anywhere else or else by an Authorized Agent like me. I am just trying to help because your Host Family is one of my High rated customers that i make there traveling arrangement.

The J-1 Visa (like any Visa) is a permit to ENTER the United States from another country. A visa does not indicate how long a person may STAY in the United States. The J-1 Visa is pasted into the Au Pair's passport.
*
J-1 Au Pair Visas are generally "multiple entries" visas meaning that, as long as travel occurs within the specified dates on the visa, the Au Pair may leave and re-enter the United States.
*
Most J-1 Au Pair Visas are stamped as valid for one year, however, this is completely at the discretion of the issuing Consular Officer who may stamp the visa for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, etc.
*
Once the J-1 Visa expires, it does NOT mean that the Au Pair is in the United States illegally as long as she is in possession of a valid DS-2019 form.
*
However, once the Au Pair's visa expires, it means that she cannot leave the United States and re-enter.
*
Once an Au Pair receives a J-1 Visa, she is authorized to travel to the U.S., but it does not guarantee entry. Immigration and Border Control have the authority to deny admission to the U.S. and to determine how long a person may stay in the country.
*
The J-1 Au Pair Visa can only be granted one time in a person's life, but they may apply for another kind of J-1 Visa, such as a Work and Travel J-1 Visa, etc.
*
Au Pairs accepted for the Extension Program do NOT receive new visas, but rather new DS-2019 forms indicating the new length of their program. This is why most Au Pairs on the Extension Program will not be able to leave the U.S. and re-enter.

Eligibility Criteria

In America, visas for exchange visitor programs require candidates to be aged between 18 and 35 years of age. They must also be high school graduates and have proficiency in spoken English.

For J-1 visa applicants interested in participating in summer work/internship programs, you must also be currently enrolled in post-secondary education at a recognized College or University within your home country.

The Au pair visa will be granted for an initial period of 12 months although a US visa extension can be granted for another 3yrs or more .

Benefits

The J-1 visa, whatever the circumstances of its issue is a non-immigrant visa for the USA and as such, it will not lead to the opportunity to apply for a Permanent Resident Card for lawful permanent residence in the USA, or a US Green Card as it is more commonly known. Immigrating to America on a J-1 visa allows a foreign national to live and work in the USA for a limited period in a variety of capacities. Au pairs will also receive lodging, meals, their own bedroom, and the cost of their round trip will usually be paid for by the host family the academic requirements for the American au pair visa are less than those for employment-based routes to the United States. Other non-immigrant visas such as the H1-B visa require postgraduate candidates as do many of the employment-based routes to Green Cards in the USA. Au pair visas only require candidates to have graduated from secondary education. However, due to the nature of Au pair work, this USA immigration service is one of the most closely scrutinized exchange programs and potential candidates, as well as the host family will be subject to a range or screening procedures.
