Sister in-law to US as a care attendent for child which visa

[JFH 12,190]

I thought the au pair could not work for a family that she/he is related to.

Well the OP did not state how long she was looking to come for, made it sound a long time but admittedly my impression.

Maybe not only that,  but it appears the candidate is to old for the program as well.

 

I guess I  should have done more homework

If the primary concern is to get out of HK asap then going home would be the simplest option.

It is theoretically possible, practically is the issue.

 

Always amazed how many posters on VJ can consider employing staff. Not sure I know anybody who could. That sort of disposable income is rare.

 

Perhaps we need an Upstairs Downstairs forum?

At least one I recall wanted to pay them the $ equivalent of what they’d earn back home, well below US minimum wage.

seriously if this worked i would bring my mother in law (a great cook) here to do our meals

and his brother to be a gardener

and his mechanic brother to keep our 3 vehicles in shape

and his aunt to clean house

Ditto.   My FIL is a retired school administrator

One of my  BIL's one is a pastry chef, the other a electrician

My MIL is a clean freak and a fantastic cook

It explains a lot like they can not stay more than a year (unless resident alien)

A lot can happen in a year.....😉

So nobody has actually applied for a sister in law with any success

Your wife could apply for her an immigrant visa when she becomes a citizen. Your child will be way past the age of needing a sitter by the time sister gets her visa.

There is no "work visa" for a babysitter.

Look into the rules for an Au Pair as was previously stated but I don't think she qualifies.

So there is no route for her to come to the US to baby sit. Even if she finds a USC boyfriend it will take more than a year.

[Boiler 45,522]

EB3? H2b?

 

But yet again more theoretical than practical.

 

How long do you need her for?

[tomcat 0]

I figured there was no visa for a baby sitter I get that . 

 

Her contract as a OFW is complete next June .

She doesn't have a home in the Philippines to return  , she doesn't want to renew her contract and time to move on 

and she has a extensive background with children in HK 

 

So we could use an a extra hand in the household and hoped there was a visa to get her here

Because there is no in-law visa of any kind.  The only thing she can apply for is a visitor visa but the chances of success are about nil

I think she wants to work.

It’s not a work visa category, and it’s not a family category...

[Boiler 45,522]

How can you apply for something that does not exist.
