DS 160 question regarding prior J visa

[ACyg3]

Hi. USCIS has approved our petition for a K-1 Visa and everything has been sent to the embassy in Dublin. My fiancee received the package from the embassy and instructions to fill out a ds 160 form. She has gotten to the question stating "Are you a foreign exchange visitor (J) who has not yet fulfilled the two-year foreign residence requirement?" She most recently was here on a J-1 trainee visa, and in her passport and on form ds2019 it states she is not subject to the two-year rule (212e). If anyone has any advice or has had a similar experience on this - we are not sure whether to answer "yes" or "no" to this question as she was a former J visa holder (within the past two years) but it clearly states in her passport and on her ds2019 that she is not subject to rule 212(e). Thanks for your help.

If the "not subject..." is annotated on her J1 visa copy, she can answer "no" to the question, as it warrants a "yes" answer only if she was subject t the 2-year requirement.
