After graduation Jana H. to go abroad in the land of opportunity, the United States of America. Your au pair exchange they organized themselves Found a nice family where they wanted to live and work for one year as an Au Pair.
Against an agreed allowance Jana should take care of the children. Besides, she wanted to attend a language course to improve their English. With their prospective host-father had regular contact via Facebook.
Than the high school graduate finally landed in the U.S., it was taken away and questioned at passport control at the airport. The officials of the U.S. Immigration authorities wanted to know the nature of the visit and how long they would stay.
Jana was prepared for such questions. She wanted to visit her parents and friends do an English course. Whether they be sure?, Officials wanted to know. Yes, she was sure. Whether they should also be sure?
Finally, the officials baffled Jana submitted a printout of the entire Facebook correspondence with their host-father. My complaint: the young woman wanted to work illegally in the States. The authorities had Janas private messages in the social network Facebook apparently read along for weeks. Jana was not allowed to enter. The next flight brought the 18-year-old returned to Germany.
It probably was not an isolated case. The dream of another youth from an internship at a horse farm in the United States was never true by the mitgelesenen Facebook messages – it also ended after the flight across the pond still at the airport.
