I am an Irish citizen on a J-1 visa subject to the 212E home residency requirement. I am coming to the end of my third year in the U.S. My visa expires in June. I am engaged to a U.S. citizenand have set a date for September 2011 and would like to know if I will be able to apply for a readjustment of status by then. I have employment prospects in the U.S. but these depend on the home residency requirement being waived.
Can anyone advise if these conditions (marriage, employment) have a positive bearing when applying for the waiver, and of so what is the best way to present this, documentation from my fiancee's family, contract offer from my employer?
It would be great to hear from someone who has had, or known of, a similar situation.
Thanks for reading and helping out!
