I do not think that attorney is necessary in that case. The official DOS website is pretty clear in case how to proceed the application. However, if you feel more comfortable to hire attorney I do not see a problem with that.

Hopefully they get back to you shortly. I know how very annoying it is to wait for so long and see other cases received after yours move forward much quicker. I wish they all get resolved soon.. 

Thanks for the message. Hopefully I would get my waiver in time.

Hi guys

How much you think this national emergency might hamper the regular DOS/USCIS services? Do you think ( if you have any knowledge) they can recommend cases while working from home, in case of a lock down?

I am wondering the same thing..

Hi guys! I already got a favorable recommendation from Dept of State (March 4). What is next after this? Do I file anything at USCIS? Or fill out a form and mail to USCIS? Or do I just wait for the waiver from the USCIS? 

 

I am a little nervous because I have not receive any notification from USCIS. 

 

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi. Congrats on getting that. No you do not need to do anything. USCIS is supposed to send you a receipt saying that they received the stuff from DoS by mail. So be patient and you should get it soon. Also I am not sure if USCIS is still working bc of the current situtation. Do you mind sharing your timeline and if you got a sponsorship or not? thanks!

No update on my case (NOS received Dec 18). Emailed them last week. They took one month to reply when I emailed them first time to inquire about the NOS receipt. You might get the response soon.  When did your NOS received?  I hope that we all get our FR soon.

This is so frustrating! Same here - last time they replied to my email in a month! They received my NOS on January 23....hopefully we all will get our FR soon. Fingers crossed!

No, nothing from anyone on this site. I would eagerly like to know if someone can shed alight on this matter.

Hi All, Does any one know that can we convert H1B-cap exempt to H1B-cap subject?

Hello, I have a question.

Did any of you had government funding and applied for a J-1 waiver through NOS and had it approved? i heard there is more chances of denial but was anyone approved?

 

I have had government funding and applied and so far nothing yet, my case is still pending!

here is my timeline! I really hope I get a favorable answer. my sponsor was the ECA,

 

Thanks guys!
