Hi all, I'm new here and really hope some of you can help me by sharing thoughts and experiences. I came to NYC on a J1 Visa for a traineeship and moved in with my American boyfriend right away (we've been together for 5 years and did long distance for a long time as I was still a student in Italy). We got married 4 months before my J1 Visa expired. We filed everything at the end of November, also applied for a temporary work and travel permit (I have an offer letter from the company I did my traineeship for 18 months expiring in September 2023 and submitted in the application) but I still haven't heard about anything. It's been 7 months now and I know the process always take a looong time but I was wondering if you could share your experiences or just tell me anything I could do to expedite the process. I really miss home and I really want to be working again. Thank you!!

Hi Graciela,
You're fine, you can move to Florida as long as you let USCIS know about it. I'm going trough the same process (came with a J1 and got married with my boyfriend) and every time I get a notification from USCIS, they say "make sure to notify us if you change your address".
I filed everything 7 months ago, also did an expedited application for work and travel visa but nothing yet. How is it going for you? I don't care about receiving the GC soon, I just want to be able to temporary travel (I miss home!!) and work.

Hi! Thank you so much for responding. The 2-year rule doesn't apply to me and I did already the expedite application, even though they told me it wasn't guaranteed it'd work. I know 7 months is still normal but not knowing anything drives me crazy!
