Dude, Id hang fire for a year or two until things calm down a bit. Im dealing with the INS at the moment and they are just not funny ! Im here on a J1 scholar’s Visa, I have a PhD, I am hear at the request of the US, I have married a US citizen, I am totally above board and they still want me to jump through about a dozen burning hoops and charge me the thick end of 2k for the privilege. Don’t think Im America bashing ‘cos Im not but I would wait for the present government to change!!
