The description under this USA forum does not. I wonder why?
I only want the OP to get information from the best possible source. The OP is asking immigration questions. That would be the specific US immigration forums/newsgroups. If the member is concerned about posts appearing in usenet, there is the option to not send to usenet...

I've now stated that it's possible to post in the three US immigration related forums/newsgroups without posting to usenet. If the OP forgets/fails to tick the box, that's not my business.

3 of the best responders are usenet, but can not say it bothers me where the OP posts.

fancy being an aupair, misswitch? You are allowed a stipend.
Anyway -- since the answer at the moment is so cut and dried, I don't see the harm of posting the answer here. Could it be sticky-ed as an FAQ?

if marriage is currently not a possibility then its worth waiting till it is. you can then file a fiance visa and then within 3 months of entering the country, get married

I guess the group owner qualifies as an entrepeneur...

L1 would/should have been easier and would have the possibility of a GC?
