Au Pair USA

Your Visa

After approving your program application we will provide you with a visa application form, DS-2019, and instructions on how to complete it. You can pay for the visa application at your local post office and you pay all final visa fees directly to the US Consulate.

Your J-1 visa is valid for one year as long as you are an Au Pair exchange program participant in good standing. The visa also allows a thirty-day grace period at the end of the twelve-month program year, so it allows you to be in the U.S. legally for a total of thirteen months.

This 13th month is intended as an opportunity for you to travel, at your own expense, and learn more about America before returning to your home country.
