Question: I was under Au pair J1-visa and finished two years of being an Au pair in the United States, and recently got married to a US citizen within my 30 days grace period. Will there be any conflict when I apply for a marriage-based green card?
Answer: Congratulations!
It should be okay, as long as you don’t have a two-year home residency requirement attached to your J-1 Au Pair visa.
Usually, au pair are not subject to sec. 212(e) requirement, but you should check your visa and J-1 paperwork before applying for a green card through adjustment of status based on marriage to a U.S. citizen.
