Avoiding the Au Pair 60 Day Trap!!

The Vassell Law Group Immigration PodCast

At ScottVassell Law Firm, our lawyers have had the pleasure of working with Au Pairs in the United States over the past two decades and protecting the status of these bright intelligent youth with great dreams and aspirations from around the world.

The Au Pair program is a cultural exchange program, run by the Department of State (‘DOS’) that permits youth between the age of 18 and 26 years old to provide childcare to U.S. parents who are typically professionals, executives and business owners. The program is for 12 months, but DOS may approve a one-time extension of 6, 9, or 12 months if the Au Pair demonstrates compliance with certain educational requirements and files at least 30 days prior to expiration.
