You are subject to a 2 year HRR? I think they are more commonly called a No Objection Letter.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Yes, I am trying to obtain a no objection letter from the Nigerian consulate. And these are the steps or requirements

 

  • Formal Application letter to the Embassy stating your request for waiver of the 2-year home residency requirement. Include your current address and telephone number, please.
  • Copy of your Case file number from the United States Department of State, Visa Office, Waiver Review Division.
  • Copies of your Nigerian passport from page 1 to page J-visa is stamped.
  • Copy of your release letter from your sponsor in Nigeria/US.
  • Letter from your current Employer/Institution.
  • Copy of your current Exchange visitor program number (DS2019).
  • Copy of your current I-94.
  • $50 money order payable to the Embassy of Nigeria.
  • A certified self-addressed prepaid envelope from USPS, UPS, or FedEx.

 

So I am trying to figure out what a copy of release letter from your sponsor in Nigeria/US is. Do you have an example or sample?

Nope but the organisation involved should know, seems a common enough situation.

I have seen something similar at the National Institute of Health. Part of their program requires them to confirm that they are OK with the waiver being granted. The NIH has their own process for this but it includes sending a "favorable sponsor view" to the Department of State. They require an employment offer letter as part of their process, but your organization may have their own stipulations.

 

I would definitely recommend contacting the International Office/Service for info, it's probably quite common.

 

Here's the NIH link also in case you're interested!
