Hi all, my fience cousin is here in the US on a J1 visa and ask me if she can get a green card. How does this work? I dont know if she has the 2 yr HR requirement or not if so she would have to get a wavier and then apply for AOS? what would she need from her employer? any help on this would be great. How hard is it to do AOS for a J1? Thanks in advance.

Is she planning to marry a US citizen or just wants to stay after her J1 expires?

My understanding is that it will say on the actual visa if she is subject to the section 212 (e) home residency requirement or not.

There is no visa-to-Green card process for fiances. The visa she needs is the K-1, but it cannot be issued to somebody who already lives in the US.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

No she is not planning on getting married she would just like to stay on a green card. I havent been able to talk to her directly to find out about the 2 yr requirement.

First thing is to learn if there is a home residency requirement. If yes, then she must leave the US and reside in the home country for the 2 years.

If no, an employer must petition for a work visa and demonstrate that there is no one lawfully able to work in the US that can accept that position. Given the current economy and unemployment rate that will be tough.
