Um.

They don't call it the misinformation line for nothing.

If anyone is going to make a call, I think perhaps it should be you to the consulate who issued the problematic J visa.

mmm..the visa was not issued yet..I'm just hoping to be with my honey sooner than in October...I will ask mikey to also ask NVC and the consulate

I'm confused, so you haven't gotten the J1 just yet? If it is for a summer intership or something then you shouldn't get the HRR requirement on there, you should not need to have it. Unless I have missed something about your situation. . . it sounds like I have. I would be sceptical about having the HRR waived in any situation. But, good luck.

Congrats Elena! I hope the information is true and you can leave sooner to be with Mike! :dancing:

Thank you Joe

:)

I totally agree with rebeccajo. It should have been you who made a call to the consulate who has full authority to grant or not grant you a visa.

I am not sure how knowledgeable about HHR the person who talked to Mike was.

Good Luck.

Does the J-1 visa itself show any signs of "subject to 212(e) requirement"? If not, then no problem indeed, but you guys might want to double-check with the consulate, as others here have said.

Yes we will call the consulate...i do have the restriction

The person Mike talked to was someone from USCIS that looked it up and said that i need two year of foreign residence...not necessary in my home country...I dont know

I did try to call the consulate but they dont have am option of talking to a real person

That's right.. the USCIS has no problem with it... they'll be more than happy to approve your petition... However, the State Department at the colnsulate cannot by law issue your fiancee a K-visa until the HRR has either been waived by the State Department or has been completed.

Thank you for the link..I hate to be skeptical but Mike needs lower his optimism...I sent him the link and the "proof" that it does not matter if I studied in Bulgaria or not...I have to be in Moldova. However, since I only have to "serve" 4.5 months, I dont think I should apply for a waiver....it might take way more than 4 months...MPGPM was right...

Thank you very much for clarfying my confusion
