How long does it take for your J1 waiver case status to be updated?

Hi everyone, I sent in documents for the J1 waiver back in mid-February and I still do not see any updates on my case on the DoS website. It does not even let me know if they received all the documents sent to the DoS. How long did it take everyone to see their very first update on the website?

Hi,

It takes 15-30 days to see the first update on the website, according to what other people have posted in this forum. 

I sent my J1 waiver application on 04/Mar and there is no information about my case on the website. I'm afraid the process might take longer due to the pandemic.

Hello, 

same with me! it's been more than a month (sent docs. on March 17th 2020) and still not received / or any status update of my case number on DOS site.  Please let me know if you get any update. Thanks

Hi! Everything changed to “received” for me on April 14th. I guess things are just taking a lot longer than usual! 😕
