Hello everybody,

 

Has anyone sent their application during april and it has been more than 8 weeks already and the application has not showed up in the system?

I am in a similar status with @Yasi-66 and I could use any guidance.

 

Thanks so much in advance and good luck to everybody

Don't worry. It took more than 12 weeks for my documents to appear on the online system!!! 

 You can send an email to 212ewaiver@state.gov. They usually answer in 4 weeks!

Good luck!

That is great that you were approved for expedited processing. Congratulation! DOS told me that they will finish my application way before my J1 will expire and for that reason there is no need for expedited processing (my J1 expires on April 2021). Can I just ask you when your J1 expires? 

 

Regarding the email which you received, there is a possibility that they messed up something and gave you the wrong information and all your documents were receiver but I would rather sent them all what they requested to make the whole process faster for you. Maybe add in the email screenshot of your timeline from the DOS website and ask them what is going on with your application.

 

Good luck!

My J1 expiration date is March 2021 in my DS-2019. However my start date for the new employment is July 2020, which I need H1b visa to start. I'm afraid that I may withdraw their offer.😔
I sent DoS the email with my timeline. Still no response...
 
 Thank you for your advice. I hope we both get some good news soon.🤞

Hi,

Yes, I requested expediting processing two weeks back and it was denied.

I'm so sorry.

When waiting for my waiver, I had asked the waiver department about expedited processing and they clearly said it only applies to those who can prove there is hardship or government interest in your potential employment for which you are applying for the J1 waiver! 

My expedition request was approved about 3 weeks ago. I guess because my work is related to COVID. I just sent them my H1b contract, and they approved my request immediately!!! However, there is still no update (pending). Do you guys know how long it takes for an expedited case to get FR? I applied based on NOS.
 
Also, on Friday, I got an email in response to my previous email one month ago! It said, "We have checked our files and still there is no record of having received your application from the U.S. Bank in St. Louis, MO. If you submitted the fee by check or money order, please provide us with a copy that indicates the fee has been paid. In addition, please send a copy of the complete package that you submitted"!!!!!
 
In the online system, all of my documents were received!!! I'm panicked 😨
I honestly don't know what I should do?

Hi All,

Have anyone requested for an an expedition to the waiver application processing recently? or received an approval for expedited processing by the Waiver Review Department?
