I wasn't expecting a video so soon. 😢❤️😊 You just answered a question I always wanted au pairs who are still there to answer (which they never did). Thank you K.
Great video. But you don't have to wait till 5 years when married to a US Citizen, after 2-3 years you can apply for your citizenship. Before you end your service with your lawyer be sure to confirm. You can also work as an international student on-campus jobs (note writing for the impaired, book store, RA etc). Ppl work outside the school, but it's usually not something that's broadcasted.
@@KaraboMareka did au pair agent ask you to send them money? Because they ask me for the visa process that i need to pay for it after sending a punch of documents
@@KaraboMareka am talking with some one now , and am really tired from those whose fake , and i want you to look at his message if you can tell me if i can continue the process with him or not , can i email you his message please my dear this is my chance for better life
This is very informative. Thank you Karabo...♥ Another way of staying in the US legally is through a DV lottery. Although I don't know all the steps, I would definitely appreciate it if you share any information regarding it.
@@KaraboMareka I only found about it last year through a friend who is a DV lottery winner. I participated on it last year early in October. Results will be out early in May this year.
@Rejoyce people all over the world apy to win the lottery every year, applications run between Oct and Nov, results come back May every year, 55,000 now 80,000 are given Greencards. If you are already in the US and u win this lottery then you just adjust your status, once you do the interview and pass it, you are given permanent residency (Greencard) . It really is a game of luck, over 30 million people apply and they only give out 55,000 greencards
If my host parents will prove their bank account. That doesn’t mean that they really have to sponsor me right? They just need to see that someone is available to sponsor me. But if I’ll find a job I can pay for my school…if it’s gonna be like community college…which is not that expensive.
Wow! You covered EVERYTHING! Thank you. I have a question. How do people pay for living costs while studying overseas? The host family may not employ you so how do you live? THanks again.
Absolutely loved this video! So informative! A little clarity please… so you finished your au pair year then lived with your now husband and started the process or did you start this while in the process of being an au pair? And another more personal question… can you work while in the process of getting married and awaiting your green card?
Hello, may I please get some some clarity on the study visa route... So my host family can become my sponsor after the one year of au pairing, I have to begin the study process while I'm still au pairing and does the student visa interview happen in my home country?
Yes if you family chooses to they can be your sponsor. And yes you will need to have a visa of some sort in process before you Au pair visa ends. You can choose to go home and start the application there or do it while you’re still in the USA (if you do it in the USA you can’t leave the country while you’re studying)
Nope didn’t apply for anything. Just after I got married we applied for the green card which we’re still waiting on. That’s when I’ll get the work permit
Thank you for all the information! My question is after I finish my au pair year and decide to apply for a university , Can I get a full scholarship ? is it possible? or I have to have a sponsor.
hi karabo.I want to ask something. Can we spend the last two or three years of our university in the USA with an au pair? This could be a scholarship, or the au pair family will cover it and say you should babysit us for 1 more year. Is this accepted? Do you have any information? I want to study in the USA and I want to live there too
@@KaraboMarekaWill the au pair family send us to university by paying the fee? Or do we have to pay, maybe we can win a scholarship? So, after the au pair ended, we stayed with the family for 1 or 2 years, and then I want to study at the university in America. What path can I follow?
I don’t know. Every family is different. By the way majority of families don’t send their Au pairs to university. Just a few. If your family really likes you and has the money to they won’t mind. But it doesn’t happen often.
Also, families don’t really owe you anything. Yoh have to figure out your life when you’re done. You have to figure out where to live etc, they don’t have to accommodate you … like I said earlier most families do not do this! I don’t want you thinking that they do. It’s just an option. I only know 3 Au pairs in my entire Au pair journey whose families had done this. And I know hundreds and hundreds of Au pairs. It’s just an option if you’re lucky
If we get to the process of staying and studying, Am I allowed to waiter (for exaple) to get money. Or am I not allowed to work while studying? Sorry if I missed it 🫢

Yes you’re correct! You can choose anyone who can be your proof is sponsor. And if you can, pay you way to school!
But very helpful! Thank you 💕
You’re welcome ☺️
Notification gang !! 😝
Listen!!! Come through sis ♥️♥️
Wow! You covered EVERYTHING! Thank you. I have a question. How do people pay for living costs while studying overseas? The host family may not employ you so how do you live? THanks again.
Thank you boo ♥️ … you have to have a sponsor while studying in the USA. The sponsor is the one that will cover basic living costs
You’re also not allowed to work under a student visa!
Absolutely loved this video! So informative!

Hello pretty does Rwandans cover Aupair in US
Thanks for the info. Can I apply for aupair if I’ll be turning 27 this month?
Hey girl unfortunately no. It’s only for ages 18-26
Hello, may I please get some some clarity on the study visa route... So my host family can become my sponsor after the one year of au pairing, I have to begin the study process while I'm still au pairing and does the student visa interview happen in my home country?
Yes if you family chooses to they can be your sponsor. And yes you will need to have a visa of some sort in process before you Au pair visa ends.
You can choose to go home and start the application there or do it while you’re still in the USA (if you do it in the USA you can’t leave the country while you’re studying)
Girl, you should not have mentioned jam squares because now I'm looking up easy recipes. God bless my distracting heart. 🤦🏾♀️🤭❤️🇿🇦
Go make ‘em! Was definitely worth it 😂😂
Hey I want to ask did you get your marriage certificate while you where using your J1 visa or you came back home and applied for K1 visa??
I wasn’t on any visa anymore, I was in my travel month
@@KaraboMareka oow so did you apply for adjustment status based on greencard and do you have a work permit visa? If you do how did you apply for it
Nope didn’t apply for anything. Just after I got married we applied for the green card which we’re still waiting on. That’s when I’ll get the work permit
@@KaraboMareka wow Karabo, so you when you get married and you out of a visa status you can get a greencard?
@@aphelelepindelo4139 it’s not just with marriage. If you fall out of status BUT have a pending visa case you’re legally allowed to be in the country
While your on the travel visa, I'm assuming you can't work right ?
There’s no travel visa. But while you’re on your traveling month you’re not supposed to work yes, but people still work for their host families
Hii I actually want to move to USA thank you I needed this♡
Quick question? Do you have a green card?
You’re welcome! And no I don’t
❤️❤️
😘
Hey Karabo ,
Do you have any information on a BH3 visa?
Unfortunately no I do not
Thank you for all the information! My question is after I finish my au pair year and decide to apply for a university , Can I get a full scholarship ? is it possible? or I have to have a sponsor.
You can get a scholarship but that’s extremely difficult. I don’t even know anyone that got a scholarship. You’ll have to get a sponsor yes
@@KaraboMareka everyone says that's it's difficult, but what do you mean in that? is there a lot of tests to take, or what?
Just getting a scholarship is hard. I don’t think it’s about the tests. It’s about finding one.
Pls I got a job offer as an aupair from USA how do I relocate from Nigeria
Your agency should be able to help you with that 😊
@@KaraboMareka no agency I just got it on a sight
@@okaforsomtoochukwuphilomen2300 oh I didn’t know you could get an Au pair job without an agency. I don’t think you can. Make sure it’s not a scam

Can i apply student visa while still on my half year aupair visa?
Yes
@@KaraboMareka do u have any ideas how many months does it take to apply and get the student visa?
@@grethylruth 1 year and above! It takes a while
How to get a sponsor?
A sponsor for school?
No one wants to marry me girlllll❤😢
😩😩
If we get to the process of staying and studying, Am I allowed to waiter (for exaple) to get money. Or am I not allowed to work while studying? Sorry if I missed it 🫢
Hey sis. No you can’t work while under a student visa. It’s not allowed
If you're at a univeristy often you can work on campus for under 20 hours a week, I did that on my student visa as you're working for your sponsor
