2019 J1 WAIVER TIMELINE - New Applicants

[Bonjiorno 1]

Hi

Could someone help me in a doubt, what would be the sponsor views?  I checked this now on my timeline.  Do I need to do anything?  I don't know if it helps but I received funding  from my country Brazil. Thanks 😊

Hi. DoS asks for the sponsor views themselves if  the person received some funding- like yourself. So no you don't need to ask your sponsor to send the views or anything. Can you please share your timeline here too? 

Thanks!

Dear all, 

I would like to just post information for a new waiver applicants. Since last year, there was a change in I-94 number format. The format was changed from 11 digits to 10 digits and 1 letter. However, this format was not supported in the online DS-3035 and was giving error message. When I was filling the DS-3035 earlier this year, I was desperately looking for somebody who is posting or discussing this issue and how to overcome it but I did not find anything. For that reason, I would like to just give a quick update for people which are right now in the same situation I was. The DOS responded to my email after more that one month and said following about the issue:

 

"We are aware of the issue and are trying to fix it.  In the meantime you can leave that section blank and fill it out before mailing your application in.  Its also helpful to include a copy of your most recent I94 number included in your packet."

 

Hope that this can help to somebody!

That is strange.

why did they ask for sponsor views since you did not have scholarship from USA?

[BUS 1]

Does anyone know if sponsor views are requested just if you have scholarship from the US?

They are requested in either case. You might want to check the previous posts for answers to such questions.

It does not make sense for me.

It also seemed strange to me.  But now I can only wait!

My timeline (NOL j1 waiver):

1/13/20 All documents received at DOS, it took my embassy (Taiwan) 2~3 months to send the NOL

1/28/20 DOS FR sent

2/5/20 USCIS received my case

2/10/20 receive I-797C in mail, finally have case number

2/25/20 USCIS case approval, egov website/app status also updated at the same day

2/29/20 receive I-797A in mail

Hi everyone! 
I have been reading this forum and I am happy for those you who have received FR in less than a month or so. My process is taking way too long. Is there any suggestion as to what I can do to speed up the process? I did not get any funding and my embassy is Jamaica. Thank you. Here is my timeline.

Referring to your case, I may get my recommendation sent in May. It is really slow. 

 

Hi

i have applied in January 2020 and DOS updated all documents received on February 12 except NOC from my home embassy. My home embassy sent NOC on January 12 and till today DOS hasn’t updated this on the website. When did you apply ?
