ORIGINAL: OsideGirl An AuPair is a domestic service provider, usually child care. It is a paid position. So, it would be a work visa, You'd have to prove employment and pay employment taxes. They would need to file a tax return. If you were not paying them and they're providing sexual services, you would be 1) Perjuring yourself on a federal level and 2) opening yourself up to human trafficking charges. And let's also add, that's if they could even manage to get a visa. The US has tightened up on giving visas for low skill jobs. IIRC, au pairs come in on a student visa, not a work visa, because it's considered a temporary cultural exchange. And you're absolutely right about the problems with non-payment and sex. I knew a girl who was an au pair and her host family stopped paying her. She had to get the au pair agency to intervene to get her money for her, which is basically what the agency is there for. If they'd been expecting sexual services, yikes. I imagine the agency would've called the cops pronto.
