I-485 - question about J1 visa

[kitty419 0]

Hi everyone!

 

I am on a work visa (E2) and have recently got married to my US Citizen husband.

 

I am filling in I-485 and for question 24a on page 10 it says:

Have you EVER been a J nonimmigrant exchange visitor who was subject to the two-year foreign residence requirement?

 

12 years ago I came to the US on a J1 visa to work in the US for 3 months during summer break at university. I have found the original form and on the form it says: The exchange visitor in the above program: not subject to the two-year residence requirement

 

So for this question do I say no? If so, should I still include a copy of my J1 visa?

I'd answer "no" since you were not a subject and attach scan of J1 visa or DS-2019 (this might be even better)

The answer according to the information you have given is “no”   You had a J visa but were not subject to the 2 year home requirement
