    Default Can You Get a J2 Visa After Marrying a J1 Visa Holder

    Hi all,
    I'm currently a student on a J1 visa. My Australian girlfriend will be coming to visit me in August. She will be visiting the US through the visa waiver program. If we were to get married on her visit, will she be able to go back to Australia and apply for a J2 visa after the marriage?

    Default Re: J1 Visa Marriage

    Her marrying you here and going back home to adjust status is not going to be an issue, I think.

    The bigger question is whether you're eligible for the J-2 visa at all. Not all holders of J-1 visas can bring relatives in on J-2. Note that your sponsor is also going to have to approve bringing her in on a J-2. I would suggest that you consult an immigration attorney (possibly your sponsor may be able to help).
