Au Pair Exchange Visitor Visa USA

How to visit the USA if you really love kids. Get a Au Pair Exchange Visitor Visa USA

Monique, living in Lyons, France, with her parents and brothers and sisters, has always been good with children. As the oldest daughter in her family, she has been the one to babysit her siblings, telling them fairy tales and other stories. She loved comics and Pixar movies more than anything else, and perhaps that’s how she became so interested in the United States.

When school ended and her parents asked what she’d like as a school-leaving present, she readily replied: “A year in the USA.”

Of course, neither Monique nor her parents had the faintest idea how a schoolgirl could spend a whole year in the USA without going as a student, so they decided to check with a friendly travel agent for some US Immigration advice.

The Au Pair Exchange Visitor Visa USA (EVP) was designed to encourage people from other cultures to visit the USA, with someone else footing most of the bill, and experience an exciting country while studying or working there. The Au Pair Exchange Visitor Visa USA offers you a warm, rewarding and enjoyable intercultural opportunity to live and contribute as part of an American family while working and studying.

For the purposes of the J-1 visa, an Au Pair is a non-US citizen who works for a host American family while living with them. Monique loved the idea. As an au pair, she would live for 12 months with an American family, helping them out with their childcare responsibilities up to 10 hours a day, with a maximum of 45 hours a week. What’s more, she would get a weekly stipend for it, and also a minimum of 32 hours of childcare training from her sponsor agency before she left.

Finding a sponsoring agency is probably the most time-consuming and intensive part of the J-1 Au Pair Exchange Visitor Visa USA application. To make the work easier, though, a complete list of approved sponsor organizations who manage au pair exchange programs under the EVP is available online to get you started.
