USCIS gave me a receipt number. I still do not have the letter but was able to track my case through it. Here’s what it looks like in my app 😊

Hello!
 
I got my DOS letter on March 20th. I called USCIS lat May 1st, was on hold for about 1 and a half hours. They made a service request for me. This morning- May 3rd, they sent me an email states that it was approved last April 23, 2019. I will just wait for the letter to be mailed to me.

Hope this helps!

Finally. Hope yours will be granted soon. 

DOS received my NOS on Feb.5th. Exactly 4weeks after, they changed the date to Feb.12 which will add more waiting weeks. Yes, awful. 

Hello!
 
Mine was received January 7th and my NOS was last February 20th. Hoping to get the recommendation from them next month. 😊

Hello! 
 
Were sailing on the same boat. My J1 visa will expire on June2019 too. I have a pending application under No Objection basis. I want to share with you guys my timeline so you can go ahead and compare yours and share it too. 😊
