Now I am really worried. One of visa journey members got RFE about J1 2 years HRR. He came to the US with K1 visa. Ok, first of all, you cannot get K1 visa unless you filled out 2 years HRR.

I was an exchange student and was subject of 2 years HRR. (my program was from 2000-2001)

After I finished my program, I returned to Japan for 9 months to graduate my high school. After that, I applied for F1 visa. Yep, I got F1. During my F 1 visa, I returned to Japan after semester to visit my family.

And after I graduated from my university, I went back to Japan again from I came back in sept 2006 to recently with K1 visa(06/19).

I was clearly told by a US council that I would not get K1 visa until I complete 2 years HRR which I did. So I got K1.

Since 2001, obviously I was in Japan for over 2 years. and I even faxed the US embassy in Tokyo to ask if I met the requirement or not. The answer was yes. As long as I total all the time I spent in Japan after J1 is over 2 years, I should be fine.

Did anyone get RFE or a problem about 2 years HRR after applying for AOS?

I included all the copies of previous visa, passport stamps. I think that passport stamps can be the primary evidence. Do you think so?

Do you still have that fax?Send them a copy if you do, looks like they are looking for gaps just to make people's life harder, geez!

I do not have the fax anymore. But, I just asked my mom to send me the bank statement from Japan.

And also I still have my old passport. and a lot of letters from my husband which were sent to me in Japan.
