• If the individual came to this country legally, on the J-1 visa you mentioned, and simply overstayed. Then this person married a US citizen, they already have an avenue to permanant residency and citizenship.

• The theoretical Z visa won't help, as presently formulated - and you can't rely on anything within proposed legislation, as much of what is proposed can be very different from what ends up going into a final bill.
  
  The person's best present option is to look into whether they qualify for a waiver of the home residency requirement.

• Thank you for replying. Normally, I think you're right, it wouldn't be a problem to adjust the status. However, this person did not complete the two year home residency requirement. Yes, entered legally, but overstayed, and did not complete two year residency. Any thoughts on this as to whether or not the Z Visa, and new immigration talks would help this person? Many thanks!
