WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW about traveling outside the USA in 2022<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Traveling outside of the USA is risky.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The USA has in the past closed the borders between some countries and the USA when a new variant is discovered. If you travel home or to another country and then the USA closes that border, you will not be able to return to the USA to finish out your year. This happened with South Africa over Thanksgiving. The border was closed in one day. There was no time for anyone to return back to the USA. Many Au Pairs could not arrive to start their year and others who had returned home could not come back to their host families. A lot of matches broke.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If you go home and have the virus, you must meet your country’s quarantine requirements before returning. Your host family may not be able to wait for this and might need to enter a rematch to find a new Au Pair. Because a family is required to pay the weekly stipend for these weeks, very few families can hire a temporary nanny while also paying the weekly stipend.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Think carefully about leaving the USA. You could jeopardize your ability to be an Au Pair. If you are going to travel internationally, inform your CC. Your CC will be required to make sure\u00a0 your host family is aware of the risks associated with traveling outside the USA.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
No one should return home with less than 4 weeks left on your first-year visa.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
No one can travel outside the USA in the second year <\/em><\/span>except<\/em> those adjacent islands that have an automatic revalidation agreement with the USA, Canada and Mexico.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If are traveling against the advice of APIA- <\/span>getting your DS2019 form signed takes 3-4 weeks.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even if you are returning to your home country the rules still apply. You will need your DS signed for travel.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Y<\/span>ou should have this form filled out and your DS2019 form sent to the office 4-5weeks ahead of any travel. <\/span>If you need it faster, you will need to pay for expedited postage through UPS to get it to the office and to receive it back.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You must send the original and you cannot re-enter the USA without the DS2019.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0You must research if a visitor’s visa is needed to enter the country that you are going into.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Please check the travel checklist for year 1 or 2 for more steps that need to be completed BEFORE you travel outside the USA.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
