Hello,

Form I-612 is the application USCIS receives from DOS for your no-objection waiver,

Thank you

Hello,

USCIS can still help you. I gave them a call and told them I filed an I-612 through the department of state (DOS) but never got the I797 through the mail and thus have no receipt number. They asked me for a bunch of personal information and then gave me the receipt number. They will also tell you what address they have on file. For me they had the wrong address somehow and also lost my G28 form which authorized my lawyer to also receive all the relevant letters. Make sure you reach a representative and start the conversation with we filed an application but never received form i797 and it has been over a month,

I hope this helps

Greetings,

I was finally able to get information from USCIS on my waiver case using my receipt number. I have a question. Once the I-612 approval notice is send, does it also become available online at my USCIS account?

Thank you for your help

Thank you for the quick response!

Greetings,

 

I need some help. After a number of delays, DOS has finally issues a favorable recommendation showing as "Sent" with a date of August 14, 2018. I know I will receive this letter in the mail and my employer told me they need this letter in order to finish my H-1B application.

 

My employer also told me they will need the I-797 receipt from USCIS indicating that they have received the favorable recommendation from the DOS. How do I get that? Will I also receive that in the mail?

 

Thank you in advance for your help 

I should also have mentioned that my J1 waiver is based on a no objection statement from my embassy,

Thank you

Thank you for the quick reply. I will try to see what is going on,

Hello,

All my information suddenly vanished from the DOS website. Is there something wrong with the website or should I try to get in touch with them? Can somebody check their status to see if they can access their info?

Thank you

NIH J1 Waiver (No Objection Basis)

Greetings,

Small update on my DOS timeline. Sponsor views were requested. It took about one month from the time the DOS reported they received my no objection statement.

NIH has a website for monitoring sponsor view process (https://dis-waiver.cit.nih.gov/search1.php) and they claim it takes about a month for them to issue them. I will try to expedite the process and let you know if anything works. I do know that they are responding to e-mails on the same day.

I also e-mailed the DOS once about 10 days ago but did not receive a reply yet so the DOS response time is still at least 10 days or more.

I hope this helps,

Thank you

Other could be your CV or any other paper that is not any of the items listed. Some people send additional material. You should not worry about it.

 

NIH has a separate request and you have to send them a letter about your waiver. Did you do that? 

 

 

Hello and thank you for the quick reply,

Yes, I did. NIH requested my DOS case number, my signed contract indicating that I have accepted the position at the USA university, an e-mail with predefined text that I accept the NIH waiver policy and another e-mail with pre-defined text that my former laboratory submitted to them indicating that they also understand and accept the NIH waiver policy. NIH made it clear, however, that they cannot review anything until DOS sends them an official request for their sponsor views. I hope they don't need me to send them everything again but I will check back with my NIH DIS contact once the DOS website updates.

I am guessing (or hoping) that if anything is missing from my case, DOS will raise an alarm of some sort and let me know?

Greetings,

I am also waiting on DOS for my waiver. Currently waiting on DOS to request sponsor views from NIH as I was a postdoc there and that is the reason for the two year residency requirement. I have a job offer from a USA university which I have accepted so I think I will be OK.

I have a question. I see that many of you have "other" as Received on their DOS timelines. Any thoughts on what that might be? I don't have it on my timeline,

Thank you

Here is my DOS timeline so far:
