BRINGING FAMILY MEMBER FOR WORK PURPOSES

[Marry American 0]

My husband and I have a five month old baby. His twenty-five year old niece wants to be a nanny. I figured that we could bring her down here and she could be our nanny.

What would be the easiest way to get her here? I thought maybe the employment visa.

Your only option is a tourist visa but if she stays, she will become illegal. Not only that, she won't be authorized to work legally in the US.

Work visas are not just given because the US citizen is requesting it for someone. They're mainly given to a business or company who can prove that they cannot find in the US an employee with the qualifications they need.

It all depends on how much money you have. That's how the system should work but in reality nobody in the govt actually check the companies to see if they have tried in GOOD FAITH TO HIRE LOCALLY.

I would like to see a record when was the last time the Department of labor check ANY company records to see if they have tried to hire american 1st. One way to kill a department, they are so under staff there's no way or almost impossible to check those companies, in turned Those companies have BIG SHOT LAWYERS and contacts to bring foreigners here to work for Cheap labor.

Good luck but it's very unlikely

I do have my own home based business; however, she is overly qualified bacause she is related. I can not find that here in America.

And the process is not easy. I know two people who received their work visas that way and the companies even had to put ads in the paper to prove that they were actively seeking someone for the position. Now whether they were honest about no one replying to the ads or not, that's another issue. But there are several steps that need to be taken before a work visa is granted.

Being related to you is not a job requirement that you will likely to be able to use to justify getting a work visa. A person does not have to be related to you to provide excellent child care. Furthermore, that limitation would mean anyone with a business could bring their family over and circumvent the family-based immigration laws. Additionally, I have tons of relatives that are related to me that aren't qualify to take care of their own children.

Work based visas are generally granted to engineers, scientists, artists, etc. A nanny is not of of those jobs where you can't get an American to do unless the person has skills that would be relavant; i.e. teach your child French.

Good luck with this if you decide to pursue it.

That may work. She could teach her French and Arabic.

I meant that I could find a nanny here in America, but the fact that she is related makes her more qualified to us. We would trust her more than a stranger. I will try it. It may not be too costly to try. Does anyone know the cost off hand?

Give it a shot. Don't mentioned that being related to you make her more qualified to USCIS because it will look like that is the driving factor in getting her a work visa. It would also help if she had a degree or training teaching French and Arabic. There should be lots of attorneys who can help you out with this.

She does not really have any formal training or schooling. Do you think an attorney may still be able to help?

A number of attorneys will either give you a free consultation or one for less than $250. The attorney can give you an idea of the cost, time, and rules involved. A good one will help you frame your case so that it will pass muster with USCIS. Try googling "attorny + visa + nanny + your city."

The easiest way would befor her to marry a USC.

All the others are akin to buyng a lottery ticket and hoping she wins enough to use an Investment Visa.
