Hi everyone,

Quick question, can I apply for a CR1 visa (married less than 2 years) while waiting for an answer concerning a J1 2 year residency requirement waiver?

Thank you so much for your help!

What is the basis of your waiver application? If it's a No Objection Statement, I think that you should at least have the DoS favorable recommendation letter with you before you submit your DS-230. Why? Because Part II of DS-230 asks "Are you an alien who is a former exchange visitor who has not fulfilled the 2-year foreign residence requirement?" You cannot check "No" truthfully if you haven't at least received a DoS favorable recommendation.

What if the basis for waiver is the No Objection Letter, can I send my I-130, I765, I-485, and I-865?

I-130

Yes, you can send this. The petitioner fills this up so there's nothing in this form that relates to/asks about the beneficiary's J1 visa home residence requirement.

I765, I-485, and I-865

I have no idea since I never needed to submit these forms. Why don't you read the forms to see if there are questions about your J1 visa home residence requirement.
