Please read this thread. viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3019

United States of America

In the USA, all au pairs must go through one of a number of designated sponsor organisations - host families do not directly deal with the arrangement of the au pair's visa/travel etc.

This is the official US Department of State webpage on Au Pair J-1 Visas http://j1visa.state.gov/programs/au-pair.

This page lists the authorised sponsors for the Au Pair program http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/ho ... =Au%20Pair.

If someone claims to be an au pair sponsor and they are not on this list then they are lying.
If they appear on the list, but quote a website that is different to the one on this page - or they use an email address that is not linked to the website listed on this page then they are lying.

The first two lines are enough to prove that it was written by a West African who has never been in America.
