When Saying Goodbye to Your Beloved Au Pair Causes You to Weep-Can You Help Them Stay? We have had the privilege of working with many families over the years who have hired Au Pairs to care for their young children. But then, the working relationship becomes more than that of an employee-employer. In fact, the Au Pair becomes just like part of the family. At the end of the authorized J-1 Visa Work Period as an au pair, it's time to say good bye and everyone starts to weep. I mean everyone... the children, the parents and the Au Pair. Believing there is no way for the Au Pair to remain in the United States, and desperate for options, the lawyers here at ScottVassell Law Group have successfully navigated the complex J-1 Visa Department of State Rules to help.
Specifically, we have helped au pair's remain in the U.S. with their "new found" family through a change of status. If you want to learn how we do this, stay tuned as we go into our Immigration Classroom and explain!
