An H category visa would probably be required to work in the U.S. temporarily as a nanny. However, an employer would need to get temporary labor certification (i.e., show that no U.S. workers capable of performing such service are available in the U.S., etc.) You could also consider the J category (exchange visitor/au pair program) visa if your sister in law's cousin fits a certain age. This is something you should consult with an immigration attorney. You can find one at

I want to bring my sister-in-laws cousing from South America to work as a nanny taking care of my newborn. What type of visa should she apply for? or can anyone suggest the best procedure for bringing her to the U.S. to work for me? I am willing to pay
for ALL of her expenses.
Thanks, Wilson.
