今回はJ-1ビザに関する少しコアですが対象者にとって役立つ情報になります。J-1ビザは文化交流プログラムに参加する人のためのビザであり、学生、学者、研究者、医療専門家を含む幅広い参加者が含まれます。一部のJ-1ビザ保持者は2年間の居住要件を満たす必要があります。つまり特定の米国ビザやグリーンカードを申請する前に2年間母国に戻らなければなりません。
以下にあてはまる人は規則の対象になる場合があります：J-1プログラムが米国政府または母国政府によって資金提供されている場合。米国国務省の母国の技能リストにあなたの技能が記載されている場合。J-1ビザの下で大学院レベルの医療教育または訓練を受けた場合、等です。米国市民との結婚は通常グリーンカードへの簡単な道筋を提供しますが居住要件を持つJ-1ビザ保持者にとって道筋が複雑になります。
しかし考慮すべき戦略として、免除を申請することがこの障害を克服する一般的な方法として挙げられます。免除を申請するには以下を提出する必要があります。異議なし声明: 母国が免除に異議を唱えないという声明を発行することができます。例外的な困難: 居住要件を満たすことが米国市民やグリーンカード保持者の配偶者や子供に過度の困難を引き起こすことを示すことができれば、免除の対象になるかもしれません。迫害の懸念: 母国に戻る際に迫害を恐れている場合、免除の理由となる可能性があります。グリーンカードの申請を開始する前に、すべての要件と潜在的な障害を理解することが重要です。移民専門家に相談し書類が正しく準備できることを確認しましょう。提出する資料がすべて必要であり証拠になりうるものであるか確認することが大切です。J-1ビザからグリーンカードへの移行の際、2年間の居住要件が対象になっている場合は困難を伴うことがありますが、正しい情報と指導を受けることで、これらの複雑さをうまく乗り越えることができるのです。
