Were sailing on the same boat. My J1 visa will expire on June2019 too. I have a pending application under No Objection basis. I want to share with you guys my timeline so you can go ahead and compare yours and share it too. 😊
i got my NOS from my embassy, DoS received my NOS as well, just waiting for their recommendation. Hope everything is going well with all your papers! 😊
Ultimate goal of many J waiver applicants is GC and if one doesn't have H1B offer then it makes sense to apply once you meet eligibility criteria for one of GC categories.
I wish you all the best ... and yes, wait is painful and I have experienced the same when I was waiting for administrative process for J visa (almost 9 weeks wait before I get it) but wish not this time .... fingers crossed!
keep us posted.
