I am from Spain.
I came to the US on vacation and married a US citizien. My husband applied for an alien relative visa (wife). I already got my social security number and my work permitt. I went to the interview, and after the interview they sent me a letter saying that there was a lack of information. The thing is that 1 year ago I had a J1 visa to come to the US. I left the country and went back to Spain for some months. Last time I entered the country was legally with a "visa waiver program" for vacation purposes (I-94), then I got married while I was here.
The USCIS asks me to provide a letter from my country saying that I have been there for 2 years, but I haven't.
My questions:
- Although I entered the country legaly, the 2-year rule still applies? Although I married a US citizien still applies?
- If I apply for a "waiver" in the 2-year rule, can I stay in the country meanwhile it is processed? The USCIS letter says that I have only 60 days to provide documentation or my change of status would be denied. What happens if the 60 days period expires and I still don't have the waiver? Do I have to begin all the application process again?
I am very scared because I got a job in the US, we bought a house, a car... Plus I don't want to stay far from my husband...
Please, help!
Thanks
