J Visa Waiver

[Gny]

Hey everyone, I'm new here! And I need some help I'm from the Netherlands and I just got married to my American yesterday! Now we're both very excited about starting the long and tedious process to get my greencard, haha.. I'm pretty sure we gathered all the information and documents we need and we're going to do it without the help of a lawyer (unfortunately we can't afford one right now).

I'm here in the US on a tourist visa which expired a few days ago. Now I was here last year from january until july on a J-1 visa. On that visa it says I am subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement even though I shouldn't have been (none of the reasons listed applied to me). So I should get this waived with a No-Objection Statement before starting on I-130 etc.

Now my question is, what address should I use? If I enter my American address will they realize I'm here on an expired tourist visa or see that I'm not spending much time in the Netherlands and is it likely they will deny the waiver request? If I use my Dutch address I could always have my parents forward it to me. It might be a silly question, but I just want to make sure everything goes through as fast as possible!

Thanks a lot in advance,
Ginny
