Hey everyone,
I have a colleague who came to the US in the same program as I did. We are both on a J1 Visa, BUT when he was a child he lived with his parents in the US for 9 or 10 years. His parents were filing all the paperwork so that my friend will become a US LPR but suddenly the had to leave and go back to their home country. He reentered the US on this J1 visa in August 2002, he brought his wife on a J2 dependent visa and they recently had a baby girl here in the US. He started searching on his LPR issue, and to his own surprise **he's now a LPR**. He's asked me what to do about his wife, because she's not a LPR and she's a J2 holder.
Does he need to apply for a J waiver to have 212e removed from his wife???
Does he just need to do all the AOS paperwork for his wife?

There is a very strong possibility that he is NOT an LPR . He more likley than not broke residency requirements.

How did he become a permanent resident without knowing it?
