The minimum duration of the Au Pair program is 12 months but, since june 2004 the American Government allows 6, 9 and 12 months extensions. It will depend if the family and the au pair are willing to renew the contract with the agency and automatically renew the visa.The Au pair can opt between keep the current family or REMATCH and change.
PS: There is also a 25th 'Grace Month' for tourism for the Au Pairs who renew for 12 months (you do NOT get any payment for this month). This is NOT a benefit you get from the agency, it's your right as a J1 Visa holder.
