Hi everyone,

My wife has had 2 J1 visas. On both visas, the visa itself and DS2019 indicated that she was not subject to the 2 year requirement but apparently there are errors from time to time.

She is currently adjusting status from her 2nd visa and applying for a green card.

Here is the info for both visas.

1st J1 visa: Sponsor: XXXX university

Funding: 20K from sponsor university 20K applicant's personal funds

Program number P 1 03469

This was an exchange program. She didn't get any grants, scholarship ... The 20K is basically the price of tuition for the university but since it's an exchange program, my wife only had to pay the tuition and fees from her college in France. We didn't go through an institution for the exchange, this was just a mutual exchange agreement between both colleges.

2nd J1 Visa: Sponsor: Interexchange ( this was for a paid internship)

Funding: 30K from employer ( private company) 10K: applicant's personal funds

Program number P 4 11837

This was a paid internship. Once again no grants ... Compensation was from the company she did her internship at.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I am the US citizen, my wife is the applicant.
