USCIS News – J-1 exchange visitors

Certain J-1 exchange visitors are subject to a 2-year home residence requirement; meaning, they must reside and be physically present in their “home country” for an aggregate of at least two (2) years before they are eligible to apply for an immigrant visa, adjustment of status, or a nonimmigrant visa in H, L, or K classification.

Further, these exchange visitors are prohibited from changing their status to certain other nonimmigrant classifications.

What is a common marriage-based green card mistake?
.
A common mistake in marriage-based green card applications is failing to provide sufficient evidence of a genuine relationship. Applicants might overlook submitting documents like joint bank statements, lease agreements, photos together, or affidavits from friends and family. This can lead to delays or denials, as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) needs clear proof that the marriage is legitimate and not solely for immigration purposes.
