Will an immigration officer at the local office be able to look me up in the system and confirm whether or not I am subject to 212(e) section? I have an appointment with my lawyer on Wednesday to discuss this, but if you know the answer, please let me know. Will the lawyer be able to find out from immigration if this is indeed the case? How long does it take to know for sure? Thank you!
P.S. If I changed status in 2003 from J1 to F1 and at that time my J1 said I was not subject to 212(e), yet a past visa from 2001 said that I was subject, does the restriction still apply? When I went to the Embassy to get my third J1 visa in 2003, the immigration officer cut the picture from my old passport and put a stamp on the last two visas saying "cancelled without prejudice." Is there a slight chance that the 212(e) requirement was also cancelled? Thank you!
