Other documents are basically any other supporting document that you believe could support your waiver decision. For example, in my case, I submitted support letter from my employer for waiver clearance as other document.

This is optional and vary person to person. In my case, I thought it may help decision making process since I am on government funding so I checked 'others' option during online application to submit these additional documents with application packet.

 

Can I ask one question, why it took so long to update statement of reason, I am curious. When did embassy sent it to DOS and was there any delay?

Let's keep posted on our cases! 

I did not provide any other documents, although I can provide a support letter from my employer for another J1 or H1b.

I got the No-Objection station from our government at the end of December. This is the reason I am still waiting. So far it is around 6 weeks passed.

Dear All,

I am continuously checking status using the case number on my J1 waiver application and there is no information till date.

However, I have another case number, which I received during the advisory opinion for subject to 212e. Today, when I have checked my status using the old case number noticed that my J1 waiver application status has already been updated in due time (on 18^th Dec 2018).

Now I am confused about the case number. Does anyone have faced similar situation?
