Hello everyone,

Over the last three months I've been figuring out what to do with my 2 HRR. Currently im on f-1 status, but got married last year.

I thought I have to get a waiver for cancel that 2 HRR, but today I called the uscis, they told me that I just need to file all the packges for aos, and dont need a waiver or anything. They told me that as long as im married to the usc, anyone with 2 HRR can file. is that true with u guys? have anyone heard about it?

Please answer as many as u can,

THank you

According to the info I received from USCIS, the embassy in Jamaica when I applied for my visa, the U.S. Department of State and the company that I did my paperwork with; a waiver is needed for the 2 yr. requirement. It also explicitly states that on the I-485. You said you are in F-1 status- I don't if know this applies to F-1, I thought it was just for J visa holders. Did you have a J-1 before?

HI,

If you are on F-1 and legally married to a USC you don't need a waiver. Just file I-130 concurrently with I-485 (I-765, G-325A's, I-693, I-864, I-131(if you want to travel outside the US). I am adjusting my status from F-1 with no problems,already have our interview date. Good luck!!!

Waiver is only needed if you have J-1 with a 2 HRR

If she has a past J-1 and did not go home for the two years, she will still need a waiver. The requirement does not disappear because you got a new visa.

Read somewhere that she might needed to get a waiver to get F-1...we dont know much about her situation.

hey guys thank you for your response,

yea i called the uscis multiple times, the customer service sectios is so poor skilled, some of them told they have never heard about 2 hrr,

oh well, i believe that i have to get waived.

yea currently im on f-1, but first time when i was on j1 i did go home for 7 months, i dont think its enough,

i dont know what to do, i dont trust lawyers, they dont have much skill about waiver either.

I called my embassy in dc they told me that they dont do give no objection letter.

so, what should i do?

thank you, i am really sad, maybe i should leave the country for canada for another 1 and half year, but im afraid that theyll deny to get a visa back because i was engaged with an unauthorized empl..

i trully will appriciate if you will throw some more advises,

thank u

You should find a good immigration lawyer just to consult. The customer service is not always well informed. You should post this on a visa waiver forum. You might get more answers. Good luck!

I remember reading another Russian's post confirming that your country does not do no objection letters, sorry. Your options at this point are to file based on one of the other ways- maybe hardship to USC spouse if moving to Russia would pose hardship to him outside of the regular stuff one would face in moving say from Florida to New York. Hardship is the key word. The other option is to return to Russia for 17 months. Moving to Canada would not work as that is a third party country, so spending time there would not count towards fulfilling the requirement. You can consult with a lawyer- but I'm pretty sure he/she will say the same thing, unless they find a way to show you should not have been mad subject to the rule in the first place.

Since we are from different countries, your embassy would have to inform you about what documents they need from you. As it regards the Dept. of state, start reading here: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/info/info_1288.html

Hello, one more thing i wanted to ask u,

my heads gonna explode with a waiver soon,

if u were funded by the us government, can u get waived with no objection statement?

i was funded by the us govt,

im so hoping for the positive reply

thank u

[KIMCORENE 0]

If you don't have your DS-2019, you can request a copy of it from the company through which you did your paperwork for the visa. As it concerns government funding, I recommend you speak with your embassy about that.

[KIMCORENE 0]

I did find this online though,

Effect of U.S. Government Funding

Exchange visitors who have received U.S. government funding are almost never granted waivers on the

basis of a statement of no objection alone. DOS takes the position that U.S. government funding requires

the return home of the exchange visitor in order to fulfill the goals of the program that funded the

exchange visitor. Where U.S. government funding is involved, an applicant usually must apply for a

waiver on another basis, although sometimes a no objection letter will be required in combination with

those types of requests.

So I guess it depends on which government you got funding from. Read the information online- only you know your particular circumstances and it would make things go faster for you, rather than waiting for an answer to every one of your questions on here. Good luck!
