What is the best visa for permanent employment as a live-in domestic worker??

Question

such as becoming a live-in care taker?

Answer 1

I was looking around for the form my husband and  I used. Can't find the number. Basically the steps are:

1. Advertise the open position and job requirements.

2. Take proof of your advertisement to your state labor department for certification. ( We advertised at job services, in the paper and with local college)

3. Fill out the form and pay the fee.

4. Find yourself an employee (We wanted a nanny)

It is a time consuming cumbersome process and you don't get to keep your nanny forever. Max is 6 years. If I remember correctly as we had a lawyer do it for us, her work authorization visa was not subject to any caps. We are hoping she marries an American citizen before our 6 years is up so we can keep her. We started our process when we became pregnant but didn't get a nanny until we were just shy of our daughter's first birthday.  She has been with us a a year in August.

Answer 2

There's no such visa in the United States.  That's unskilled labor and the USA is not taking any unskilled labor.  Try Canada.

Answer 3

If you're talking about the U.S., then the visa classification for domestic workers is EB-3. At the moment, it's fully subscribed, but you can submit an I-140 and have the beneficiary get in line with the rest of the planet.

EB-3  visas are for:

Aliens with at least two years of experience as skilled workers;



Professionals with a baccalaureate degree; and

Other workers with less than two years experience, such as an unskilled worker who can perform labor for which qualified workers are not available in the United States.
