Thanks for sharing your timeline. What did they ask for RFE? Did they only ask additional evidence or they said the evidence you provided is not enough? I mean I wonder what kind of language they used in the RFE letter? One friend of mine got an RFE and the language they used in the letter was a little bit disappointing. They said the evidence he provided was not enough for the approval of the waiver. So I wonder if they send the same generic letter to everyone or they send different letters to people depends on their case.

Hi All, 

I have just started this painful j-1 waiver process. I know it will be a long journey. My j-1 visa will expire on 5/2020. I will apply for a green card as dependent to my US citizen wife but it will take another 6-8 months on top of j1 waiver time. Could you please advise me how can I run these two process in a best way?

Hello,

 

I just gathered all of my documents for the persecution case. However,  I am very confused about the process.

Do I need to send everything to USCIS and DoS??? The fee on the website says $930, but it doesn't mention sending documents to DoS, and I see that some of you did that.

Could you please explain?

Thank you
