>The US should have caught this before she came in here but didn't.

How? Unless she said, on her (tourist) visa application or when she actually entered the country, that she wqas going to be working, they wouldn't know.

Years ago, my ex-wife came to he U.S. on a tourist visa specifically to work as an au pair. The agency she worked with and the family she worked for, all told her just to say she was coming here on vacation. No one at (then) INS ever knew. (When we decided to get married, she went home and we went through the seris K visa process.)
