Hi I am currently on J-1 working in a hotel in VA. (with two-year foreign residency applies) My J-1 is for one year and I've been here for about 6 months.

I met my boyfriend after I came to the States. He's getting relocated to a job in Montana. He wants me to go with him. In order to keep me in the country, we plan to get married.

I applied for waiver last month and looks like it's under process now. My question is, if we get married now, can I drop out from my J-1 program and follow him to Montana? After we get married, during the time i wait for my waiver and then start my application for green card, can i stay legally?

Thank you.
