    Hello,

    I came to the US as an aupair, with a J1 Visa. But I'm leaving my host-family and it is getting hard to find another family through my aupair agency. I think I'm not going to get it in time (I have just one more week).
    I was invited by one family to work for them as an aupair, too. But the family won't register in my agency (because it is too expensive).

    What happens if I decide working to this second family (without agency)?

    I will become illegal in the country?

    Thanks in advance...

    I think you guys might have the wrong idea. This forum is for J1 work and travel students, not the j1 medical visa thingy.

    There are some areas of work which are not covered by this J1 Visa and these include:

    * Au Pair, Mother's Helper, Nanny, Babysitter, Servant, Maid or other jobs of a domestic nature in private homes
    * Medical Services (medical interns or anything involving hands-on therapy, counselling, administering treatment or making diagnoses of medical, psychiatric or psychological patients, or veterinary work involving hands-on care)
    * Camp Counsellor
    * Crew member on ships or airplanes, or as pilots (employment on ships that travel within domestic waters is allowed)
    * Any Sales job that requires the participants to purchase sales merchandise themselves, in order to resell it (e.g. door-to-door sales)
    * Teaching either as language teachers, qualified or certified teachers or teaching assistants
