Marrying a J-1 Visa Holder
A U.S. citizen wants to marry a J1 visa holder. Her visa does not indicate that the two year HRR applies to her, but she's going to confirm that with the State Department and seek a waiver if necessary. She has been in the U.S. for two years. Can they marry in the U.S. when she is in J1 status, and then adjust her status?
Re: Marrying a J-1 Visa Holder
Assuming that the two-year HRR does not apply, yes, they can marry and petition to adjust her status based on marriage.
