Congratulations! This is great news. Did you have any govt funding? Why did they ask for sponsor view?
I did yeah from my home country government tho so idk why they would ask for sponsor views.

I want to share some good news, I just checked the DOS website and looks like I got a favorable recommendation. Previously my application was on “sponsor views request” stage and I noticed 2 days ago it was gone. How can I check my case with USCIS? What should I ask them in order to get the case number? Here is my timeline.

I heard that we can extend the J1 program during J1 waiver with DOS pending.
You heard? Where?

As far as I know, the waiver will waive all J1's you ever had. The one you mentioned on the DS3035 should be getting the sponsor request. If you mentioned the latest J1 visa info on the form, that's the one the views are going to be asked from. It doesn't matter if it's a US funding or your home country. Either way they'll ask for the views. I saw some people's timelines here with the sponsor views. Some took a month. It shouldn't be longer than that tbh. I'd check with your current sponsor from time to time. Good luck.
I just checked my DS3035 and it does mention all the J-1 visas on it.

Thank you @waiver2020. This forum is so helpful. Super grateful to you all.

If your J1 was sponsored financially by an institution etc., DOS asks for the sponsor views. They send it themselves and the institution sponsored you sends it to them. You can check with them to expedite this step if you'd like. Have you received Fullbright ?
I had a J-1 visa back in 2014-2015 funded by my country government (Brazil) but on the DS-2019 it states an US sponsor (IIE) which i believe is the one responsible for managing the funds. Right now I am on J-1 visa funded by the company i am working for and the sponsor program is an US agency as well. The waiver I am applying for is for the current J-1 visa. Why would they ask for sponsor views if the US company is the one funding my current program? Do you know how long it takes for the sponsor to get the request? I noticed the status update on the site yesterday so I emailed the sponsor from 2014 and my current sponsor to see if they received anything. The sponsor of 2014 said that they didn't but I am not even sure if they are the one that will get the DOS request.

We are actually in the same timeline. I’m not sure if your process was pushed back because you changed your address. I think you will get yours soon though.
Are you from Brazil? Did you make a expedite request or something?

I didn't receive anything, I called them 1 week later after I got the FR and got the receipt number, I saw my case was approved already.
