2 year restriction

[Jason-Sasha 1]

Whew!!! Man oh man. I just had the scare of my life! I know this thread has been dead for a while but I was suddenly sick to my stomach to hear about this J-1 2 year rule thing. Never heard of it before. I recently began our process for a K-1 visa. My Sasha had been in the States for the past 2 summers (2005, 2006) working. I have been reading old posts about people that need to wait 2 full years before filing for a K-1 visa. I cannot seem to start new threads with my PC. For some reason I can only add a quick reply. Windows closes when I try to begin my own thread. So anyway, all morning I've been pretty nervous. She's only been back in Russia since last September. I started looking through her photocopies of visas from her passport. Thank God I made several copies of our completed K-1 packet. And on her Visa it says clearly that "The 2 year rule does NOT apply Russia". Oh god I really hope that this means we are in the clear. Why is Russia exempt from this and not other countries like Poland?? Anyone shed some light on this for me? And can anyone tell me why Explorer closes each time I try to begin my own thread?? Help....

Apologies, I have posted this in another topic also but could someone just confirm to me that there is no 2 year rule for former F1 visa holders?

Are there any official websites where I could check this for myself?

Thanks very much
