Hello, my boyfriend was recently in the US with a J1 visa but has a two year residency requirement. He is back in his home country and wants to file for a waiver. Does anyone know if he could put the mailing address as my US address and if I could mail the documents and money order for him?
 

Also wondering, will requesting for a waiver to file a K1 visa be a strong Statement of Reason?
 

Thank you in advance!

I don't know about the address, but it is easier to send documents from the US (including the money order). He may need to sign the documents though (I don't quite remember, it's been a while)

 

About the statement of reason, I think it's a strong statement of reason. Mine was literally "I want to get married and we have decided it is in our best interest to live in the US rather than my home country". You can't lie, so just be honest and state why he needs it (to apply for K-1)

He can put your address on the mailing address and the self-addressed envelope. (I would recommend getting the USPS Priority Flat-Rate Envelope with $7.35 stamp and tracking number.)

Please note that the USCIS might still send the final approval to his physical address.

 

For the statement of reason, if it's a no-objection case, it almost doesn't matter. Getting the K-1 visa is a valid reason.
