I don't know if it is relevant by now but I know people who changed status on j1 visa BEFORE getting married. I was on J1 visa at some point  too and went back home but was surprised to learn that my former fellow student got rolled up for a college and stayed. Then she got married to a GC holder and waited until he became a US citizen. I am not sure what legal grounds underneath it. But she got her green card and everything eventually . So I guess if it was illegal then she would have been deported.

No it's not relevant and no, it's neither illegal or a reason or deportation.

what do you mean it is not relevant? I quoted the comment of the person who actually asked the question. I think that only that person could decide if the issue is still relevant or not.

It's not relevant because she is not an Au Pair. If an Au Pair goes against the agreement they will report it to the Department of State and she will lose her Au Pair status. Getting married is neither illegal or a reason for deportation.

According to her words, she was not tied up by this condition. Here what she said:

 

"I have read about the Au Pair's agreement, and we have different conditions being a J1 visa holder. We are not being hosted by a family, nor by the government. We paid for the program through a specific sponsor/agency, that's why I am here under the J1 visa.

 

I do appreciate all your help. No need to have a commotion out of this. It just gets too confusing for me as well. Thank you guys! "
