안녕 하세요

I am a Belgian citizen, married to a US citizen. I was a recipient of a J-1 visa in 2007-09 and 2010-12. I am subject to the 2-year home residency rule (HRR). I applied for a no-objection waiver in 2010, which was denied (due to a blanket denial for Fulbright J-1 holders). After my J-1 term was up, my wife and I emigrated to the UK where we have lived since 2012. I am looking to regularize my status as a potential immigrant to the US in 2-5 years.

My questions are:

1) Do you know what evidence US immigration will look for to determine that a person has satisfied the HRR? Will a stay in the UK count towards the two years?

2) Would it make sense to start the family based immigration procedure now, and "hope for the best" when it comes to the HRR?

3) Do you know any other immigration options that would allow me to be in the US and work?

My background: I was a research scientist (applied mathematician) for about a decade, then became a software developer. Please feel free to contact me if you require further information.

답 잘 부탁드립니다.
