My visa J1 had a 2 years rule that doesn't let me come back to USA as soon as I would like. I have a sponsor to come back to USA and I am thinking to marry with my girlfriend, an american citizen. I was doing the process to ask for a waiver but I have some doubts:
1. Should I apply for the waiver and at the same time for the visa or I have to wait to have an approved waiver and then start the process for the visa?
2. Should we marry first and then apply for a waiver? Or I can start right now with the waiver process without having a marriage certificate.
3. Can I ask a waiver as a fiancee right now? What documentation should I attach? I saw that I need some kind of documentation and that made me thought that it´s a must to marry before applying for a waiver.
4. In the Statement of reason, can I write two options? I have also the opportunity to be sponsored. I would like to be open to that also. But I guess that if I ask a waiver for marriage in one state and they approve it, I will not be able to have a job in another state because I have to be with my wife for a certain amount of time, haven´t I? And vice versa, if I give a reason of a sponsorship and the government approve it, I only can apply for a HB1 visa, not a K3 visa.
Any advice will be so welcome. I am so confuse in all this process.
Thank you in advance,
G.
