Need help with I-485 Please!!!

[Kseniia 0]

My story is very long, but I will try to make it short!!!!

In June of 07 I came to TN as a Workm and Travel USA participant.

The firs person i met here was my future husbad.

After summer time I went back to Ukraine. We were all the time in touch

till I came back in July of 08, on J-1 again. We were datin and engaged for

18 months. We got married in Februarry and now we want to get my Green Card

and start working again and go to Ukraine and visit my family.

I dont know what box should I check in I-485 Part 2.

I really need your help. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to check:

a. An immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number

that has been approved. (Attach a copy of the approval notice, or a relative, special

immigrant juvenile, or special immigrant military visa petition filed with this

application that will give you an immediately available visa number, if approved.)

You need to either file form I-130 together with the I-485 or attach your approval notice from I-130 if you sent it prior to I-485. I-130 is actually the immigrant petition they are referring to above.

Good luck and congrats on the marriage!

Don't you have a 2-year foreign residence requirement on YOUR J-1 visa? Or did you get a waiver for it?

[DaniG 3]

I think Work-and-Travel J-1's don't have the 2-year requirement normally because it's unqualified labor and the participants don't have their college degree yet + it's not government sponsored. None of the three J-1's I've held had it.

But it's always a good idea to check.

As for our country if government pays for your education then you are a subject to 2-year, if you pay then you are not. I knew people who were subjects.

The thing is that most of them know about it and they go back.

It will state on your visa stamp "note". And you can find it on D/S also.
