So, I am a student in Utah and understand that with a J-1 visa on the 2 year rule (back to the home country), marriage is not a qualifier for a waiver. But, according to the documentation here, http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/tem...info_1288.html , a No Objection Statement (NOS) can be obtained from the home country acting as the waiver.

I've heard that if the marriage occurs in the home country (not the US), the laws change to the home country's. In this case, I've heard its easier to obtain the waiver via the NOS. Is that true? Or is this something totally subjective to the home country's laws? And if so, how would I find out about the laws in the Dominican Republic?

Thanks.
