kiruba Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Hi, Whether J1 waiver USCIS is must for H1B filing or "favorable recommendation from DOS would be sufficient? Appreciate your replies. -Kiruba
Attorney_11 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 In general, the USCIS requires proof of J-1 waiver approval prior to approving an H-1B petition, if applicable. As a courtesy to petitioners and beneficiaries, the USCIS will accept an H-1B petition for filing with proof of DOS recommendation of the waiver and will then work with the relevant USCIS division or service center to adjudicate the J-1 waiver at the Service Center while concurrently adjudicating the H-1B petition.
