Aunt Zhu could not refuse, so she agreed. However, although Aunt Zhu works in a diplomat's home, it is her first time to go to the United States. All she knows is that besides her passport, she also needs a visa and a face-to-face visa. She doesn't understand these things. Aunt Zhu told the story to her daughter. With the help of her daughter, Aunt Zhu came to the American visa room and found the teacher Tao in the American visa room. After listening to the problems encountered by Aunt Zhu, Teacher Tao patiently answered for Aunt Zhu: Aunt Zhu went to the United States with her employer, who is a professional diplomat and needs to apply for an A-3 visa. Class A visas are issued to ambassadors, ministers, career diplomats, consular officials and their families of foreign governments accredited to the United States, and their entourage needs to apply for A-3 visas.
To apply for A-3, there are the following requirements:
1. Evidence belonging to A-3 must be provided, such as a letter of introduction from former employer, proof of previous employment in this department, etc.
2. Consular officials must determine the official status of employees and the intention of both parties to establish or maintain the relationship between employers and employees.
3. Diplomats and domestic helpers of employees of international organizations must first register in the management information system of the the State Council Diplomatic Mission Office before applying for visas.
4.A-3 visa applicants must be interviewed by consular officials. They must go through the same routine application procedures as the general public, including arranging interviews.
5. It must be proved to the consular officer that the salary that A-3 applicant will receive is reasonable compared with the salary in the employment area, which is enough to overcome the public burden. The application materials for this kind of visa must also include the employment contract signed by the employer and the employee.
For this contract, there are also relevant requirements:
1. Ensure that employees receive wages consistent with the national or federal minimum or universal wage level.
It is stipulated that after the first 90 days of employment, all wages must be paid by cheque or transferred to the bank account of domestic employees by electronic transfer. Members of the delegation and their families are not allowed to use the bank accounts of domestic workers.
3. When the employer is a foreign diplomat, according to the general practice, domestic workers living in the employer's house should receive free accommodation and meals in addition to their wages.
4. The employee shall promise not to accept any other job during working for the employer.
5. The employer shall promise not to detain the employee's passport; The contract should also state that both parties understand that employees should not be required to stay unpaid outside working hours.
6. The contract is very important for the application procedure, because it provides a framework for private employees to seek employment or human rights protection in person. The employer must pay the first travel expenses of its domestic employees to the United States, and then pay the travel expenses to the employer's entrusting unit or the country where the employees usually live after the entrustment relationship ends.
Finally, with the help of Teacher Tao, Aunt Zhu prepared relevant materials, went through relevant procedures, successfully obtained a visa and embarked on a trip to the United States.
