Question about filing a J-1 visa waiver
I’m going through a marriage-based green card application, and I now need to file a J-1 waiver.
I’d like to know if the waiver requirement is automatically excused once I go through the marriage-based green card process, or whether I still need to file the waiver depending on my prior status.
Also, if the waiver is denied, does that mean I absolutely have to leave?
You still need to go through the waiver filing process. If the waiver is denied, you would need to return to your home country, so please keep this in mind.
