hi everybody
I came to the USA on a J1 visa with 2 yr home residency requirement, last year I was granted asylum.
now I'm applying for a green card and I noticed that in the application form there is a Yes or No question that says:
" have you ever been a J non immigrant exchange visitor who was subjected to the two yr foreign residence requirement and have not yet complied with that requirement or obtained a waiver?"
what should I say? and is the asylum considered as a waiver to the visa?
will the fact that I entered the states on J1 visa affect my green card approval?!
please I need an answer desperately?
