IN THE SUMMER OF 2005, I MET AN AWESOME RUSSIAN GIRL NAMED LIUBA AND TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, WE FELL IN LOVE AND WANT TO BE TOGETHER!!!! WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT DAILY VIA EMAIL, INSTANT MESSAGING AND PHONE CALLS EVER SINCE SHE WENT BACK TO RUSSIA IN THE FALL. IN MAY OF 2OO6, I WENT OVER TO VISIT HER FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS AND WE HAD AN AWESOME TIME AND BECAME EVEN CLOSER AND MORE IN LOVE. I'M SEEKING ADVICE AS TO WHAT TO DO NEXT. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A SEVERAL MONTH PROCESS BUT WHAT DO I DO FIRST?? DO I NEED AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER?? IS IT BETTER TO MARRY HER OVER THERE IN RUSSIA FIRST AND THEN COME OVER HERE?? WE ARE BOTH WILLING TO BE PATIENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS BUT I DO WANT IT TO HAPPEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. ANY ADVICE AND ANY ASSISTANCE WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. SHE'S AWESOME AND SHE THINKS I'M AWESOME AND THAT'S...AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A GOOD ONE!!!!! |

Adorable young one by the way!! I'm not too sure what you meant by your reply that mentioned something about a J-1. And then also something about a homestay rule. Just curious. Hope you are well. Take care and thanks!! Rott_Dogg (Craig) |

There are many tyoes of visa's, each visa is identified by a different letter and #. J-1 just signifies the person entered the country as a student.
If the school sponsors an academic exchange program you might also be able to recieve a J-1 visa. (J-1 visas have longer practical training periods, but you may be subject to the 2 year homestay rule.) What the homestay rule states is after completion of the visa (expiration) the person has to return to their homeland for a period of time, usually 2 years. Usually you will have a homestay rule if any government was involved in paying for the tuition or any related costs. Her visa or her I-94 should state if she is subject to the homestay rule. If she is subject to a homestay rule, she can apply for a waiver once her J1 visa expires. I hope this helps.. Let us know if you have any more questions... hopefully someone here has an answer for you! |
