J-1 Au pair visa and marrige?
Answer:
A J-1 visa holder is only subject to the two-year rule if he or she was sponsored by either his/her own or the US government.
Both the visa itself and the DS-2019 will indicate if the visa holder is subject to the two-year rule: it is written right on the visa and on the form. If so, it is very difficult to get a waiver; if not, have a happy honeymoon!!
whooa!
good for u for tossin out the wife!
hope the kiddies didn't mind
If there is a 2 year home-stay requirement, marrying a citizen does not end it. There are ways to bypass the home-stay, but they all involved work (such as working in an undeserved area for five years if you're a doctor).
You need to figure out whether the J-1 has a two year home country requirement. Sometimes this information can be found on the visa itself. My guess is that for an au-pair there is probably no home country requirement, but that is just a guess.
This is one of those situations you don't want to take advice from people on the internet. Please talk to an immigration attorney before tying the knot!
Yes an Au Pair can be subject to the 2 Year Rule, but it depends on each case. Your visa stamp should tell you if the 212(e) rule does apply. Many times the DS-2019 isn't stamped at all, but that's another place you can check. You can apply for a waiver here: https://j1visawaiverrecommendation.state...
