J1waiver205 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 It depends on where the money comes from and who the sponsor of the DS-2019 is. If the sponsor is a US agency or a US-based non-profit (like one that manages Fulbright grants) then they will most likely ask for sponsor views. If your DS-2019 is sponsored by a university and you're getting money from your advisor's NSF grant, then they shouldn't ask for sponsor views. The only funding that matters is one that is specifically earmarked for exchange visitors, or if your home country provided the funds but they were handled by a US-based organization. Thnx a ton for the kind reply!!!!! Link to comment

vasankg Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Arun, Did you get your final approval from the USCIS? Please provide your time line from NOC to the final USCIS approval. My case is still pending. The DoS has updated the status on April 9th to 'Sponsor views recieved' and on Feb 27th to Final NOC . It is more than 9 weeks since the DoS received no objection statement and wondering if I should contact them. Any suggestions experts? Jairichi? I appreciate your help. -Vasan Link to comment
