chaitea Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hello everyone! I am currently in process of applying for J1 Waiver (NORI) and also renewing my passport (expiring in 6 months). Should I wait to get my new passport and then apply for NORI or can I do both at the same time ? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment

My DS2019 says i'm subject to HRR but my passport says 212(e) does not apply. which one takes precedence ? Quote Link to comment

Usually if your DS2019 states that you are subject then you actually are. You can eventually ask for advisory opinion but honestly it's just a waste of time. At the J1 waiver division officers are dumb and basically they just check just your ds2019 and your visa so you will probably receive a letter stating that you are subject and you'll end up wasting more than a month. I am not a lawyer but if you need the waiver to get a visa or GC would you risk to get it denied for the HRR? Plus I know that for indians it takes a huge amount of time to get the waiver. I am from Europe, usually it's easy for europeans to get it but I sent everything in September and I am still waiting ( I only got favorable recommendation from dos 2 weeks ago).
