IndJ1Waiver Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hi DOS sent a favorable recommendation on 4th December. Waiver basis is 'No objection'. I haven't received the DOS recommendation letter or USCIS receipt in my mail. I would be glad if you please share your recent experience with the timeline to receive the final notice from USCIS. Thank you Quote Link to comment
bptewari Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi, I just started working on getting NORI from 3 agencies in India. I finished the first step and after uploading my affidavit, biodata and other relevant documents on MHRD webpage of NORI, I realize that they wanted everything to be categorically said either "yes" or "no" in the affidavit form. However, the affidavit form of Washington DC consular services does not have a questionnaire type format wherein one can say yes or no. So I just filled wherever it was appropriate and submitted it. I am wondering whether MHRD would consider my affidavit as incomplete and it will delay the entire process ? I saw in comments from 2013 that It is a potential issue but not sure if anyone experience it since the process is online. Please let me know. Thank you, Bhanu Quote Link to comment
SaikiaPriyam Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi, Did you hear back from them yet? I had applied for J1 visa waiver for home residency too (based on no objection). The online favorable recommendation from DOS was generated on 19th September, 2019. I never received the hardcopy in my address but did receive an email with the document. Since then, it has been 4 months and I have heard nothing from USCIS. DOS tells me to contact USCIS and USCIS says they still haven't received my case. I am running out of ideas on what to do. Does it take 4 months+ in this last step? Please post here if you receive your final approval from USCIS or any other update. Quote Link to comment
