Legal Question in Immigration Law in Maryland

Before applying for a green card, the 2-year foreign residency requirement has to be waived. The application is filed with the Waiver Division of the Department of State. If and when approved, you or your husband can apply for a green card (provided that you have some independent eligibility ground to apply for permanent residency).

As dependent J2 visa holder, you are subject to 212e 2-year requirement as well as your husband.

If approvable, J1 waiver takes a few weeks.
