Hi,

I wonder if anyone could tell me if it is possible for me to appy for PR without applying to get a waiver? I was on J1 with 2 year home residency requirement and have just changed to F1 quite recently. i have not fulfilled the requirement yet. I am planning to apply for PR, but not sure if the 2 HRR will hinder the process. I am grateful if anyone could answer my question. Thanks!
 
I was in the same situation. You still need the waiver. You can do the waiver during your last year of F1/OPT (you can't get F1 extended or apply for OPT once you start the waiver process). Without the waiver you can't switch from F1 or F1/OPT to H1B or PR.
 
Thank you for your response. I am now undecided wether i should apply under NORI or marriage status. The chance to get a NORI is slim, but i dont know how i could make a case under marriage ( separation is not a case). Please help!
 
You can do the same thing I did. Spend the summers in your home country during your F status. Every day in your home country counts. As long it adds up to 2 years you have fulfilled the 2 year requirement.
