My fiancee was working in the US under a J-1 visa. She quit her job in May 2010 and returned home to Costa Rica. She then re-entered the US on 8/26/10 on the same visa even though she is not working. We just got engaged and are beginning the K-1 process. Her visa expires 11/9/10 and she is going home on 12/1/10 (to be out of the country within 30 days from visa expiration date).

Is it going to be a problem for us that she is here on the J-1 and no longer working?

Well - Depends on what the DS-2019 specifies.

That could be an issue.

however, with the J-1 - is she looking at a 2 year requirement on it? (meaning she has to stay out of the US for 2 years after the visa expires)

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

Should be written on the visa in her PP.
