Well, #######. I just read that even cap-exempt are included in this suspension now. I'm sure we didn't apply before the 20th. So I'll likely get a refund. Also it says they are accepting the I-907 but, I'm guessing it's too late for that if the application has already been submitted. Their website says it generally takes 8.5-11 months! Now I'm very worried. 

Hi @LamieJamie, Just checking how long did it take for you to change the status from J1 to H1B. Thank you!

Hello @palvi07

 

Could you explain how did you contact a congressperson? I need to understand the process as my sister is an American citizen and she could inquire on my behalf. 

I used the following link: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

and filled in the form.

Do you have any update?

Nothing as of now

Hi All, 

Update on my application: I got favorable recommendation on April 8, 2022. Now waiting for USCIS response. 

Here is my timeline: 

September 23, 2022: Application received by DoS

January 18, 2022: Status updated on the website as Pending

April 8, 2022: Favourable Recommendation

I did requested Congressperson to help in March. I believe that helped.

Thank you all for sharing your updates and experiences. It really helped me in this process. All the best!!

Hi Everyone, 

 

I applied for J1 waiver to DoS in September 2021. The mail tracking shows that the documents were received on September 24, 2021 and the Indian embassy sent the NOC on Oct 4, 2021. J1 waiver tracking portal shows nothing till today. I am really stressed about it. Is it normal?

 

Looking forward to any suggestions. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, just an update on my application:

DoS updated the portal saying that they received my documents on January 18, 2022 (which they actually received in September 2021). The portal doesn't show the receipt of the No Objection letter yet. Hopefully, they will update it soon.

Hi, I would definitely email them since its been over the time that the whole process should take to finish at least form the DoS side. Include the Case no., DOB, Nationality, Reason for Waiver (No Objection), and reason for email. Stress the dates and the no. of weeks since final docs (i.e. NOC) was sent. Also ask Embassy to re-send the NOS to the DOS since they seem to update it more quickly once they receive it again.

Thank you so much!! I already emailed them 3 times and received no response. I also requested Embassy to resend NOC to DOS in first week of January and embassy did it. I am now waiting for any update. I am out of ideas now.

Yes. It is perfectly normal. Expect your case to show up at least 4 months after the documentation was received. It’s all about patience. 

I am just worried if they have all the documents or not. I have no way of tracking this.
