Hello All,

My girlfriend is currently from Mexico and we have been dating for the last 7 months and I want to marry her. She is currently an Au Pair and she may not be able to stay for another year if her extension does not go through. We want to apply for a fiance visa to make it legit as well as give us time to prepare for our wedding. I love this girl a lot and do not want to let her go. Currently she is under a J-1 Visa which I'm not sure what that is classified under. We already have the K3 forms printed up and are ready start filling them out. However we ran into a recent issue after reading this "Exchange visitors participating in certain types of programs may be required to return to their home countries for at least two years before they are permitted to adjust status from J-1 visa to Green Card or apply for change of status. " So does this mean she has to go back for 2 years? if anyone has any input please let me know!
