thanks!

yes, indeed my university is applying  straightforward for H1B and waiver at the same time. We cannot apply for express process anymore, so it may take up to 6 months 

Dear all, finally, on 19th April 2017, I got the Favorable Recommandation. 

Crepi il lupo

I got news, On March 29 the status update. Now it shows:

Form DS-2019 Requested March, 29 2017

Incomplete information Letter Sent, March 29, 2017

I still haven't received the letter, but I sent all the DS2019 in my possession. One is for two years, then I am not sure what they are requesting.

You are still in the DOS stage. Looks like they sent you a letter because of incomplete information - did you respond to that and provide them the relevant details?

 

What program were you on under 2YHRR? Depending on that, DOS might also request sponsor views.

 

Remember that processing times of 6-8 weeks apply when DOS receives ALL required documentation, not from the time of submission.

Hello KurosawaSan, 

The french embassy sent everything on Dec 19th, or more than 90 days ago (so it is 19th of December that they received all the documentation). The incomplete information was related to October 5th. I work at NASA under cooperative agreement with UMBC. it is then NASA funding UMBC to pay my salary. Cheers. 

Hi Scarlet, unfortunately still pending... I start to loose hopes as I am beyond 12 weeks. I tried to contact them by email but I receive all the same text saying that they are processing requests in order. Frustrating ! 

Hello,

I am applying to H1B from J-1 visa, but I am subject to the two-years rule. I was reading all different forums and it seems that DOS is giving a response in 6-8 weeks. NOS from French embassy was received on Dec, 19th, 2016. Since that date no answer. I tried to contact DOS but I had the same answer, that they are processing applications with respect of time of reception. Anyone is having the same problem? Here my timeline :
