My husband and I are currently filling out the I-485. Section 24.a asks if you have "ever been a nonimmigrant J visitor who was subject to a two-year foreign residence requirement."

 

My husband previously worked in the U.S. under a J1 visa back in 2016, and does not recall any 2-year requirement. Following his J1 visa, he lived in New Zealand for 6 months, Canada for 2 and then France for 4 years (so I am hoping he would pass that requirement if it was required?)

 

Not sure if we would answer No for this question (not subject to this requirement) or if we should answer Yes knowing that he did live in France for 2+ years between U.S. visas. Any insight is appreciated!

Does he still have the passport containing the old J visa?   2 year requirement, if applicable, is printed right on the visa.
