Hi all,

I am in the process of obtaining a I-129F and when my fiancee went for her interview at the embassy in Stockholm she was informed that we needed to get a 212(e) "NO OBJECTION" waiver. We then received the necessary documentation and applied for the waiver. After about a month after the application, our online case status changed to "FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION" sent on March 4, 2010.

First, I assume Favorable Recommendation is a good thing, so does anyone know where the recommendation was sent to and how much longer we will wait till full approval? From my understanding, there has to be a secondary approval and then my fiancee will be contacted directly, yet I have been unable to find out how long that secondary approval will take or where it is taking place. Does anyone on here know?

Tack så jättemycket för hjälpen,

Casey och Linnéa

Hi Casey, Hope your situation worked out well. I also had a similar to question. What is your background of the J-1 visa that you needed a NO Objection waiver for. Was your exchange sponsored by the US government. Usually those are real hard to get. Thanks,

Jan 9th, 2015: I-130 NOA1 (Nebraska Service Center)

May 20th, 2015: NOA2- I-130 approved email notification

May 27th, 2015: I-130 forwarded to DOS visa center email notiffication
