I have a R J-1

Question details

I have a R J-1 i am not subject to the two year rule or section 212 (E). Do i have to leave the country if i adjust my status through marriage? I was advised that i should leave the country for at least 60 days and have my interview in my country. Is this correct?

ANSWER

I see no reason to leave. The 60-day advice makes sense only if you have just entered USA.
