Hi I wanna share my timeline. 

Dec.28.2017. DOS sent FR 

Jan.3.2018 I-612 was received by USCIS 

Jan.8.2018 I-797C was received in the mail 

Mar.8.2018 Emailed VSC ask about my case. They replied that my case was delayed because it was stuck in the “ security check”.  They can’t move forward my case with my “security check” pending. 

Fingers crossed hoping my security check complete soon!

Hey @borabora112, I have the same timeline as you and I'm still waiting. My case is also in Vermont (EAC).

Which email did you use to get in touch with them? How long did they take to answer you back?

Thanks!

Hi there!

I used this email: VSC.NCSCFollowup@uscis.dhs.gov

They got back to me after three days. It’s from an case officer. 

Please email them, give them your case number and ask them what’s going on. They usually will get back to you within a week. 

Good luck to us!

Hi! Thanks for the info! 

Let me ask you this: Did you send an inquiry through the USCIS website before contact them by email? I got an auto reply from them saying that if I have not called the NCSC or submitted an on-line case inquiry they may not respond my email...

I'll let you guys know if I got a response. Good luck for us for sure! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi, did you receive your waiver? We have similar timelines and I also tried expediting my case without success. Also, I did not submit my change of address on time and I'm afraid that my approval was sent to the wrong address! Would really appreciate a reply!!!

Hi. I didn’t contact them through the website. I only sent them emails. Yes you will get an auto, and after a few days, you will get an response from an officer. I emailed them 5-6 times, I got responses 2-3 times. 

Hope we get our waivers ASAP!

My J1 waiver timeline based on no objection,

  • November 17, 2017 - Sent DS-3035 and other documents to DOS
  • December 21, 2017 - DOS sends Favorable Recommendation to USCIS
  • December 28, 2017 - I-612 case was received at USCIS lockbox
  • January 4, 2018 - Received Receipt Notice from USCIS in the mail

I am waiting for the USCIS approval. Any idea how long it takes? The vermont service center processing time says that they are processing July 1st, 2017 case right now. Is it true? I have seen people getting their waivers within a month after USCIS receives I-612 from DOS. My waiver is based on no objection.

Thanks!

I am in the Same situation like you. 

November 15th- Sent the application

Feb 23- DOS sends Favourable Recommendation to USCIS

Feb 27-Received the Notice from USCIS in the mail

Mine is also in the Vermont service center.

Hi Forum,

Have anyone applied for J1 wavier in 2018. I have applied under "No Objection", and still waiting for Fav. Recommendation from DOS for past 5 weeks.

Is anyone facing the similar situation, is there a way to followup and request for expedite. My J1 Visa is expiring June 2018. Worried!

My TimeLine:

NO Update after that....

Feb 27 - Received No Objection

Feb 12 - Received Fee, DS 3035, DS 2019, Passport Data, Statement Of Reason

Feb 05 - Sent the package
