Will previous J-1 visa affect process
 

I had a J-1 in 2000 + 2001,
i'm now here again (came in on a I-94) and have overstayed, and am married to a USC.
On my I-485, there is a question about my J-1 and if i have been past the 2 year period. Does this affect me?
Do i tick Yes or no?
What's it mean
Thanks

Also should i apply for my replacement I-94 before i file I-130/485 or at the same time.

Hi:

It might, it might not.

I am in a similar situation - the question actually asks if you had a J-1 AND were subject to the 2 year home res AND have not completed it OR have not received a waiver.

We have been waiting for the waiver for almost 4 months now. We got the no objection letter for the foriegn government in only about a month and it's sitting in DOS for "review" - whatever that means.

We plan on waiting for the waiver to submit the I-485, which hopefully, will be soon.
