my wife's J1 visa with 2 year rule.

We see this question a lot in our office.  If the J-1 waiver is approved then unless there is a crime or some other legal violation or ground of inadmissibility, it appears she'd be eligible to adjust status to permanent resident in the US, but she'd need to be evaluated by an immigration lawyer just to make sure.    Because J-1 waivers are technically quite complicated, I hope you're working with an experienced immigration attorney.  That's my advice. Let us know if we can help.  Good luck... Daniel Shanfield http://www.immigration-defense.com/ This information is for general information purposes only.
