    I already got denial on my hardship waiver. So, the plan might be to go back to my home country and try to fulfill the two years since I do not wanna waste more time trying to fight this denial or applying for different waiver. Once I am at my home country, my wife will be filling I-130 petition so I can comeback after the two years. Does that make sense?

    My lawyer told us that we can file I-130 petition (marriage based case) while I am serving the two years back in my home country. Fyi, my visa lapsed and I got out of status, but he said that would not affect the petition since we (as J1 visa holders) legally entered on our J1 visa. I hope to hear from anyone who heard that too or has different experience.

    It was a foreign Gov scholarship. Based on hardship to Spouse, Son, and step daughter (All USA citizens) . So I have them all!! Not sure based on what they decided that

    Yes it is mine. Any idea if there is a way to fight that? I did not get a chance to talk to my lawyer yet.

    That’s so brutal and unfair. Any idea where people go from there?

    They are working on very few hardship cases / month. I believe they are focusing on other types of waivers, but not the hardship ones. I checked the previous years cases that got done. it was way more cases than the current rate. Example from 2020: 278 hardship cases got done by the end of fiscal year, which is about 22 cases / month. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/waivers/INA 212(e) Waiver Recommendations - FY 2020.pdf . I believe, nowadays, they are at rate of 4-6 cases / month. I saw only 4 cases that got approved last month.
