If you are living in Natomas and currently on a J-1 visa, you may be subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement before applying for certain U.S. visas or permanent residency. Fortunately, a J-1 waiver can remove that requirement — and the attorneys at Ranchod Law Group have the experience to help you achieve it.
With over 23 years of immigration law experience and a 97% approval rate, our firm has helped thousands of clients nationwide secure J-1 waivers and remain in the United States legally.
What Is a J-1 Waiver?
Certain J-1 exchange visitors must return to their home country for at least two years after completing their program. A J-1 waiver allows you to request an exception to that rule, giving you the ability to stay in the U.S. without leaving for two years.
Our attorneys in Natomas and Sacramento assist clients through each step of the process — from determining eligibility to filing a complete and persuasive waiver package.
Types of J-1 Waivers We Handle
Hardship Waiver (I-612)
Available when your departure would cause exceptional hardship to your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or children.
