These are the scheduled 2008 arrival dates into the U.S.
Au Pairs/Companions travel to their host family community three days after this arrival date following their orientation program.

Dates marked with an * indicate arrivals for EduCare Companions as well as for standard and Extraordinaire Au Pairs.

Each arrival is limited to spaces filled on a first-come, first-served basis. It is possible that an arrival will be closed because it is filled to capacity before the official cut-off date. Depending on holiday schedules, cut-off dates generally are four to six weeks prior to the arrival date. A detailed placement cut-off date schedule is sent to all host families once they have applied.

Upon arrival in the United States, au pairs attend an intensive orientation program. Three days after arrival au pairs leave orientation to join their host families. Support however, does not stop here.
