J-1 fulfilled 2-year residency condition. Is J-2 now automatically NOT subject to it?

[kamransyed]

After completion of PhD, J-1 went back to his home country to fulfill the 212(E) requirement. His wife (J-2) stayed in a third country (NOT in the country of her citizenship when J-2 visa was issued to her) in the mean time. J-1 satisfied requirement, successfully applied for an immigrant visa, returned to the US and got his green card. Does this mean that J-2 is now automatically NOT subject to the condition anymore? And as such can now be sponsored and obtain her green card?
