It is from department of homeland security,  it is form 1-797c notice of action. It states notice type: aproval notice from vermont service centre. It states that it is a courtesy copy, that they sent the orignal to my g-28 which is my lawyer 

Yay! It is notice of final waiver indeed! You will get the i797 from lawyer! Many congratulations 🎊🍾

I need some help please. I got married 2 years ago But I had no lawyer in the beginning and I had my interview and they asked me for the waiver for 2 years home residency. I applied for the waiver but they are asking me for all my ds2019 considering that I had 4 entrances to USA on in 2006,2007,2008 and the last one on 2012 that I stayed. My first 3 ds2019 got lost and I contacted my sponsor but they erase their data very 3 years. I also contacted the agency in Peru but nobody has a copy of them. Did anyone had the same problem? Anyone knows where I can get copies? Please someone help me. I am very depressed and stressed.

According to DOS https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/study/exchange/waiver-of-the-exchange-visitor/exchange-waiver-faqs.html

 

> I cannot get duplicate copies of my DS-2019/IAP-66 forms. What should I do?

 

> The Waiver Review Division will accept a signed letter from your responsible program officer with information about your program and your participation in it.

 

 

Alternatively, you can try to file FOIA with DOS to get a copy, but it is a very long process. I filed one since Jan 2019, and I haven't received the copy yet. Luckily, we are able to get the responsible officer of the program to write a letter instead.

NIH has sent the sponser views in august 1st week only. But DOS has updated it received.. Now again they requested for the sponser views...???

 

I checked with my sponser they havent received any thing such type .. Is the tehnical glitch or the mis typo by the officer..? Sent an email to DOS on 5th Sep, havent heard back anything from them.

how much time does DOS takes to reply for an email?? anybody have an idea.

your status looks a bit different with me, shouldn't "view request" first, then  "submit the view"? and the NIH is your J1 visa sponsor or your new employer?

I got sponsor view request recently, also. Praying for everyone in the same situation.
