What type of Visa? (Working Visa??)

[Dalyn 1]

I want to inquire here if what kind or type of visa can my Aunt apply to get here in US working as a nanny. My cousin have 3 kids and he would like to get my Aunt a working visa so she can work for him as a Nanny. They don't even know how to start. My Aunt is coming from the Philippines and she worked as a Nanny from different countries already and that's why they thought of it instead of her applying to another country to a new family why not just hire her to work for him.

Thanks.

H2B visa:

The downside is that the host family must be able to show that there are no available US workers for the job and that the work is temporary in nature. While the visa may have a three year duration, the work period must be less than 12 months each year. There are no program fees to be paid but the host family must pay the nanny the prevailing wage as determined by the US Labor Department.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no way for your aunt to work as a nanny in the US.

There are many qualified nannies in the US. Your cousin can hire one of them.

EB3?

Seen quite a few lawyers suggesting go straight for that rather than a work visa.

Getting a nanny here in US is very expensive, he is thinking to pay her not that crazy amount he is paying now and helping her (our Aunt) at the same time.. I know what you guys are talking about.

There are so many advantage having our Aunt living with them, so they might try the H2B visa and about this below..its kinda rough because for sure there are available nanny's around his area.

For EB3, still have to prove:

• You must be performing work for which qualified workers are not available in the United States

Maybe can use the fact that the kids need a nanny who can speak Tagalog.

He has to pay her the U.S. wage. He should be very careful with deductions for housing and food.

He can not pay her less than minimum wage.

Nice, thanks that might work .

Just recognize that there is a cost associated with EB3 and also that EB3 is not current in Visa Bulletin so there's wait. (in addition to all that's written above). Will probably be cheaper to get a nanny locally.
