J1 Visa to K1 Visa

[Shaira 0]

My fiancè and I met in the US last year while I was in my Work and Travel Program. I just came back here in the Philippines last June. We're planning to get married next year. Is it possible for me to process a fiancè visa even though Its just going to be a year since I came back from the US using a work and travel visa? Do I really have to wait 2 years before I could go back in the US?

I might be wrong but the 2 year rule is that you and your fiance had met within the last two years prior to filing I don't think it means you have to wait 2 years to go back to USA

He just recently visited me this month. If he's gonna go back here again and visit me by January 2019, do you think we would be able to process it already?

It depends if you’re subject to the 2-year rule or not. It’ll be stated on your J1 visa. 
If you are, you cannot return to the US before you've been in your home country for 2 years. You can also apply for a waiver. If you're not a subject to the rule, you can go back whenever.
