J-1/J-2 Visa Overview

J-1 visas are intended for individuals participating in exchange visitor programs, while J-2 visas are for their dependents. Applicants need program sponsorship, a DS-2019 form, proof of English proficiency, and adequate health insurance. Some J-1 visa holders may be subject to a two-year home residency requirement. The visa is valid for the program duration, with extensions possible in certain categories. The application fee is $185, and the SEVIS fee is $220. The process is considered moderate in difficulty; while visa agency  assistance is generally required, it can be beneficial for waiver cases. Processing usually takes a few weeks, and the approval rate is approximately 89%.

VAWA Self-Petition (I-360)

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petition process allows certain individuals who have experienced qualifying abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child to seek immigration relief independently. Applicants must provide substantial evidence of the abuse and submit a self-petition using Form I-360.

Successful VAWA self-petitioners may become eligible for work authorization and eventually a green card. The I-360 fee is often waived, but standard fees apply for Form I-485 adjustment of status. The process is highly complex due to sensitive documentation requirements, and the involvement of an attorney is essential. Processing times typically range from 12 to more than 24 months. Approval rates vary and are determined on a case-by-case basis.
