Scary part! I guess I will need sponsor views too. Hope your sponsor provides favorable ones. Good luck!!!

I just emailed my sponsor and they said they will send their favorable opinion to the DOS by the end of the week

That's great. So you are one big step closer to the destination. My friend got the sponsor views posted as "received" on the website, and then received the DoS recommendation less than 2 weeks after that. My sponsor never responded to my email, so I don't know if I will get their favorable opinions.

My documents were received, check cashed, and supporting documents sent by 3rd party, all around 2 months ago. So far, my case doesn't even show up on the status page. :(

Dear friends,

I am writing my status and experince in this forum to receive your thoughts!

I have been sent my J1 Waiver applications on March25th and DOS updated on May17th and June1st. After that i waited almost 21 weeks from now but my status is still showing  "pending"- never expected this process will take this much time. I reached out DOS with congressman letter, supervisor letter - but no use. I wrote email to 212 address mentioning several things - no reply received except automatic 212e reply.  Surprisingly, my VISA page and DS 2019 was mentioned that bearer was not subject to 212e- so, I submitted H1B application recently without a waiver letter to USCIS. I am not sure whether my request will be getting approved or not at this time. But, I was believed at some point during this H1B process I will receive a "favorable recommendation" from DOS (because 12-16 weeks wait time crossed) but nothing happened yet. If anyone in this forum has had similar experience please write to me. Thanks in advance!
