Are au pairs guaranteed to get a J-1 au pair visa?

No. Au Pair USA cannot guarantee that an au pair will receive a J-1 visa. The issuance of J-1 visas is the responsibility of the U.S. State Department. Embassy Consular Officers are responsible for making the decision to grant or deny a J-1 visa to an applicant. Our application process is designed to ensure that au pairs meet program requirements in order to be eligible to apply for a J-1 visa.
