90 day Insurance 4 work as COWGIRL, USA

A question about : 90 day Insurance 4 work as COWGIRL, USA

My 18 yr old daughter is flying out to Montana soon, to work on a ranch. Her chores are many and varied and include horse riding amongst other things.
What is the best insurance for her to take out.

Thanks for any help.

Best answers:

• First things first, does she have the appropriate visa for letting her work in the United States? If she's working there under the visa waiver - then if it's discovered, not only does she risk being barred from re-entry into the US, but her insurance is also likely to be invalidated. I would assume that in the event of any claim for a work related accident, they would want to see proof of legal status.
• Sorry.
  Again.
• Thanks PBS,
  She is indeed entering under visa waiver.
  The ranch that she'll be staying at will not be paying her a wage, if that makes any difference. Any money she makes will be tips from the holiday guests staying there.
  I don't suppose that changes anything?
  Thanks for your help.

• No really...
  this is what you are legally allowed to do under the VWP
  -
  • Visit friends and relatives, touring or vacationing, visits for rest
  • Visit for medical treatment
  • Participate in conventions, conferences or convocation of fraternal or social organizations
  • Participate in sports, musical, and other events or contests, if you are an amateur who will receive no money or other renumeration in return
  --
  now obviously, even there is no pay, there are tips, which is renumeration..
  also, if the government find out, she's deported, not allowed back into the US, or she could be turned away at the airport..

• I don't believe that she thought it would be alright to go to the States to work (because that is what she is doing) without the proper visa. Mad
• Many thanks for your detailed reply M. This was exactly the type of reply I was looking for when I orginally posted the question.
  Thanks again.
  As for S - you're an !!!. Your reply was pointless and made about an 18 yr old you know nothing about. Save yourself time and others annoyance by making your comments constructive.

• markymoo is correct...she will technically be working in the USA illegally, and if she is caught, there will be serious consequences, as the government has started cracking down on illegal workers in the last few years. Even though she's not getting a set wage, she will still be earning money. If I were her I'd seriously reconsider whether it's worth it...she can still try and apply for a J-1 visa to allow her to work legally, but I suspect it's a bit late now.
• Customs have no right to tell you that.. Immigration can do on the way in, as they may ask to see your return flight portion, but customs? all they're bothered about, is what you could be smuggling in that is against the law..
  remember people.. no irn bru into the USA!!!
  I love the fact that maybe people think anyone on a border, is "customs" and forget about immigration and tsa (or security etc)...
