Hi everyone,
I'm new here and I tried searching the posts for an answer to my question but I didn't find it. My situation is a bit complicated so bear with me for a bit.
I had a J-1 visa sponsored by the National Institutes of Health who attached the 212e rule to the visa. I have transferred the J-1 visa to a University that does not usually require the 212e (but of course, it's still there). I am now working on applying for the waiver and I know that getting the No Objection Letter from my home country is relatively easy. I have also married a US citizen and am planning to eventually apply to the green card (after the waiver is approved). My question is: in the Statement of Reason for applying for the waiver, do I state that my current University doesn't require the 212e rule, or do I state that I am married to a US citizen and intend to apply for the green card? Maybe both?
Let me know if this is too specific to this Forum and if I should just contact a lawyer instead...
Thanks!
