Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for your reply. I've read quite a bit about the statement of reason, but I am really confused. I'm not sure if I should talk about marriage and changing status in this statement of reason, or if this should just be a statement about career in the US as the samples I've seen are. If any has any advice that would be a great help.

I am in the process of filing a ds-3035 waver and I am required to fill out a statement of reason. The reason is; I am married and want to live in the same country with my spouse, does that qualify as a statement of reason?

Thank you very much for the reply.

Hi everyone, I'm new to visajourney and I am attempting to start the process of obtaining citizenship for my wife who is in the USA now on a j-1 visa, she is from Thailand. Her visa has the two year residence requirement. We have been married since Jan 8th and her visa will expire on March 17th. I was under the impression that I could file an I-130 and that she could stay in the USA legally while that form was in process, but upon further research I realized we will first need to complete a ds-3035 waver of the two year requirement. So My question is how exactly should I request a letter of "no objection" from the Thai consulate? Furthermore if this waver process is not done before the j-1 visa expires in March will this cause problems with the rest of the process? Any other info from any of you who have gone through this process is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I am new to visa journey. Right now I am doing what seems to be the exact same process as you have completed serpent Dragon ZX. I am just starting this process, as I didn't realize that I would first need to complete a ds-3035 waver of the two year residence requirement to adjust status . Your posts on this thread have really encouraged me that I may be able to file this ds-3035 and ask for a letter of no objection from the Thai consulate. Which is very encouraging because I had an interview with a lawyer yesterday who wanted $2000 just to complete the ds-3035 which will also cost the addition of all the filing fees. So my question is this; How exactly do you request the no objection letter from the Thai consulate?
