Hello,
Can I reapply second J-1 visa after my first J-1 waiver approved ? Appreciate for any advice. Thanks.
By the way, I have returned home.
Hi, or course you can. The problem is:
a) When you apply for a second J1 visa, you need to convince the visa interview officer that you don't have the intention to immigrate. This could be tricky because you applied for a waiver for the first J1 visa.
b) Some countries will only send out NOL once and won't give you an NOL if you apply a J1 waiver again. In that case, you couldn't apply for NOL based J1 waiver anymore. Check your government's policy.
I would say work visa such as H1b would be a better choice. We don't wanna go through all this J1 waiver thing again, right?

They cashed the check two weeks ago. Finally(after I can already recite the case number forward and backwards) today I find some information online under the case number. Not sure if this is normal or it's already a sign of longer waiting time for the whole process. Here is my timeline so far:
Materials sent: Apr 11 via US priority mail
Delivered: Apr 13
Check cashed: Apr 16
Forms received: May 1
Still waiting on the no objection letter. Waiting desparately cuz my OPT expires this Oct and I need to get my green card based work permit before this so that I can keep my job. Fingers crossed.

FYI: I received an email from the waiver department (because I contacted them) this Monday saying that I should receive a copy of the letter in 5-10 business days.
