After Marriage, Can She Leave Her Host Family?

Post by finrunner » Tue Jul 11, 2006 2:42 pm

My girlfriend is here in the United States from Colombia on a J1 visa with NO two year requirement. She is in the Au Pair program. We would both like her to come live with me and have her stop working as a house-maid in Au Pair. I know her host many and she has already talked to her host family about this and they said it was fine with them if she left to live with me.

My question is, if we get married and file for Adjustment of Status, how soon could she legally leave her job as a house-maid and live with me (I am a U.S. citizen by the way). As soon as we get married, can she leave?

Also, if it is not technically legal that she can leave immediately, does it really matter as long as we file for the Adjustment of Status and have the permission of her host family?
