    Post J1 Visa Adjustments to Permanent U.S. Residence

    Dear Sir/madam,

    If a doctor working in the United States currently on J1 visa marries a U.S citizen, and if his/her U.S citizen spouse files a petition for his/her green card, can he/she get his/her green card while staying in the United States and not going back according to the "2 year return rule of the J1 visa"?

    If you're subject to the two year HRR you must first either fulfill that requirement or successfully obtain a waiver.
