I'm moving to the US on an H1 the first time with my wife and daughter, and interested to bring my nanny as well.
1- My wife wants to be able to work shortly and my understanding is that she won't be able to on an H4 until my I-494 is approved). Is it feasible for her to do a J1 if an employer is willing? Are there other options?
2- I'm working on getting the nanny a B2-domestic, but consulates around the world are closed which puts a very long delay on the process. Is it possible to bring the nanny on a tourist/business B1/B2 and do the change within the us? Are there other options?
- proberts 6y agoYour wife can't apply for work authorization while in H-4 status unless and until you are the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition (which is a step in the green card process) and the only way for an accompanying nanny to work in the U.S. is to apply for work authorization while in the U.S. in B-1 status.

My understanding is that we can get the B-1 visa for domestic employee outside the united states. Some counsel has told me that entering the US with the tourist /Business B1/B2 is could be risky. Do you work on the B1 nanny cases or have a referral of a lawyer to work with such a case? I'm interested in hiring counsel to make it happen.
