Go Au Pair will be sending the following information out in all Au Pair Welcome Packets when they arrive to the United States:
There has been a recent change with regard to the processing
of I-20 and DS-2019 forms at ports of entry. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) has stopped the practice of placing admission stamps on these forms upon
entry. This has caused problems for some Au Pairs, especially at Social
Security Administration (SSA) and DMV offices, where some participants were
being turned away and asked to secure the stamp.
After looking into this issue, it was learned from CBP that
it had indeed instituted this change, but had neither posted the change to
its website, nor shared the change widely with all of its field offices (some
CBP offices were still unaware of the change and forms were still being
stamped).
CBP has since posted the information to its website and is
now communicating with SEVP, SSA, and DMVs about the change. With the
information about the change now getting out to the relevant parties, most of
the problems should hopefully subside.
