No, it's not a rip-off. You apply to get some adjudication. Even with a denial, you get an adjudication, so your payment was used.

You seem seriously misinformed. I would get a real lawyer, not a paralegal,for some help.

You were aware of the J-1 residency requirement when you came to the U.S. right? The J-1 waiver is a matter of grace and fairness; the U.S. doesn't have to offer it at all. It's hard to feel much sy

thats f***ing rip off., :angry:

is that what u did? so it means that i dont need to stay bck home for 2 years?

You would still have to wait the 2 years before you could return. You would just be filing from your country after the 2 years are up. There is NO WAY around the waiver and you shouldn't file AOS until you have it or you will lose your money. It isn't a rip off, it's following directions.

You were aware of the J-1 residency requirement when you came to the U.S. right? The J-1 waiver is a matter of grace and fairness; the U.S. doesn't have to offer it at all. It's hard to feel much sympathy for you given that you haven't even made a case why you should get one, whether by your home country's consent or extreme hardship to your citizen spouse.
