I am on a J-1 visa on a fulbright scholarship for PhD. Besides the J-1, fulbright requires me to spend 5 years in my home country and have signed a bond with me. I am interested in getting married to my American boyfriend and seriously considering the option. But I dont see a way out and find this almost impossible. Even if I serve the two year home residency requirement, what do I do with the Fulbright bond. People in my country have found ways to navigate this, but I am extremely clueless to how this can work for me. Any suggestions 1) what to start 2) where to start. Plus, how can getting married benefit my case. I just dont see a way out of it.

The obvious solution would be for your boyfriend to be the one that moved.

Exceptional hardship to a USC would help.

I thought these things were for 2 years?

The only cases I remember seeing where they obtained a waiver was where they were able to obtain a no objection letter. Theoretically Hardships alone can be used but I do not remember seeing such a case on here.
