    Default How Can Someone Living in the U.S. on a J1 Visa Become a Permanent Resident

    Hi,

    A friend of mine is an au pair living in Virginia on a J1 Visa. She would like to apply for permanent residency but she has no idea which forms to fill out and she doesn't seem to get any help from the Chinese Consulate. How can she start the process for obtaining her permanent residency? Thanks!

    Is she subject to the two year home country residency requirement? If so, she can't seek permanent residence until she's fulfilled that requirement or had it waived.

    Whether or not she is subject to that requirement, what basis does she have in mind for obtaining permanent residency? Marriage to a citizen?

    Thanks for replying,

    As far as I know, her visa expires in december 2011. I think she wants to stay in the United States to work and go to school.
