There are 11 mexican consulates in Texas. Contact the nearest to inquire on the no objection letter. 

 

And I do agree with @Coco8: try getting the waiver presenting a compelling case -focus on the importance of your academic area/field and level of expertise, not on hardships- but plan for the worst case scenario. 

Thanks!

My plan is to change visa and spend the rest of my program traveling back and forth between the US and Mexico to sum days to my 2 year restriction. I think I can sum up to 500 days doing this and request a waiver for the remaining.

Thank you all for your answers!

You will get the no objection letter from your nearest Mexican consulate. Where are you located? 

 

Unfortunately, as @Coco8 already mentioned, a Fulbrighter cannot obtain a no objection waiver without proof of unusual and compelling facts establishing that Mexico and the U.S. will both benefit considerably more by allowing you to remain in the U.S.

I am located in Texas.

Problem is that only part of the funding was Fulbright.

What happens if my waiver gets rejected?

Oh...OK.  Thanks.

Yeah. It is country specific. I spent about a day looking for this information in several sites and forums but I could not find any information related to the NOS letter for mexicans.

He or she is trying to find the process to apply for the no objection letter in Mexico. That's not the same information and actually, I tried to google it and I got information from a lot of other countries appear but not from Mexico. OP will have to dig a bit deeper and look for alternative phrases in Spanish. I'm a native Spanish speaker and I still couldn't find it, but I only spent 5 minutes. That's why I recommend to call the embassy directly. 

 

Thanks! I am also native speaker. I could not find anything

The process varies by country. I had to request it to an office in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in my country, they sent it to the embassy, and then I picked it up. 

 

Who sponsored your J1?

 

I recommend that you call the embassy of Mexico in the US and ask them, or send them an email. I'm from another country, but I always got answers that way. 

 

 

My visa was sponsored by the US department of state. I am part of the Fulbright program.
Thanks I guess I will have to send that email.

You have to apply to the Department of State, not the embassy.

 

 

 

 

I know that the waiver must be requested at the DoS.

What about the No Objection Statement? Where do I request this?

Please let me know if I am mistaken.

Hello Everyone! I hope you are doing ok.

• I am a mexican student under J-1 visa, and I have the 2 year home rule. I would like to apply for a waiver but I cannot find any information about the No Objection Statement (NOS) in any mexican embassy web page.
• Does anyone know where can I request this letter or who to contact?
• I appreciate any help! Thank you

Hello everyone!

I am sorry if I am posting in the incorrect forum. I am also a J-1 visa holder and subject to the "two year rule".

• Has anyone had any luck getting the "no objection letter"?
• Does it matter if I request this letter in the Austin Consulate? or do I have to go to the El Paso Consulate?

Thank you in advance!
