Since 1994, U.S. producers have worked to offer American Kobe-style beef that features the same characteristics, marbling and flavor that defines Japanâs Kobe beef by bringing herds of Kryoshi and Akaushi breeds of Wagyu cattle to the United States.
Married couples (or engaged couples) cannot be âau pairsâ. Au pair positions in the USA are for one person at a time. Even host families that need two au pairs at the same time donât look for married or partnered âcouplesâ, since the family has two au pairs usually to cover a work week that is more than 45 hours long.
All au pairs and companions make a commitment to participate in the program for 12 months. If an au pair is in good standing at the end of 12 months, they have an option to apply for an extension of duration of stay to continue their participation an additional 6, 9 or 12 months.
