My wife was here in California for 2 years on a J1 Visa (Exchange program) which does not allow individuals to work in USA. She did work w/ a valid SS # for approx 15 months. Now in Peru, her interview for K-3 Visa is this Monday.

Does anyone have any idea as to weather or not this may affect their decision to grant Her Visa?

Any help is appreciated, and best to all.

Thanks!

Simple answer is not a problem.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

As far as I know, this is one of those things that are forgiven because of marriage to a USC.

Read the the laws to make sure but make sure you are aware of them. One of the questions on the I-485 application is Have you ever been a J nonimmigrant exchange visitor who was subject to the two-year foreign residence requirement and

have not yet complied with that requirement or obtained a waiver? This may be something to address when she gets here and you file your I485.

If the J-1 visa holder was subject to the two-year foreign residence requirement, she would not be issued a K-1 visa, until that requirement had been met or a waiver obtained....so it would not come up at the I485, in this instance.

That question and answer would be a factor if marriage occured here in the US, w/ the foreign national residing here.
