Hi,
I am a j1 visa holder and I have the 2 year requirement to waive. My question is : if I waive the two years requirement, can I marry my green card holder fiancé and get a green card from him ?

My second question is : if I cannot waive the two years, can I write a petition for reconsideration ?

Thanks

1. You can get married but you cannot stay in US. You must wait in your home country.. it takes about 5-6 years to get immigrant visa (greencard) since your spouse is not a US citizen.

2. No.
