Is it possible to apply for a MS degree as a green card holder if I receive the green card this summer, but the deadline to apply for the fall semester is soon in the winter? I hope that the residency will give me more opportunities for scholarships. However, some universities require providing...

seekingj1waiver, What country are you from? I know their decision also depends on the country. Econgrad, Did you receive any news? J

Amyyoung, It is outside of the processing time. I know that it if you do not hear from them 90 days outiside of the time (which is about 4-5 months now), you should contact them regarding your case and they will start searching for it. This happened to my earlier hardship waiver, I started...

I wonder if there is some procedure or experience of filling sufficient fulfillment after some part of the requirements has been fulfilled?

Hi mehmemin, Did they recieve your letter? J

I think you should be fine. There is a delay in receiving mail by DOS, which is about 2-3 weeks, and perhapas it was about a week before you received the letter form them. Perhpas wait or mail the thing again in a couple of weeks...

Uscis always agrees with DOS. Even in hardship cases, if USCIS approved that there is hardship, and then DOS issues not favorable recommendation, USCIS denies hardship waivers inspite they found hardship to beginning with. My problem is different than yours, I can return to the USA after two...

Thanks. I am not sure if laweyrs can help. I contacted so many of them and spent lots of money on lawyers, and it was useless b/c of the gov funding. I think the only way you could do is to go to study more and go back and forth between countries. There are a few cases of rejection of waivers...

Achilleas, How long did it take for DOS to receive sponsor views? Thanks, J

Hi, I don’t think I can tell you anything positive. I have been watching the waivers over forums over the last five years, and have never seen a case when governmentally-funded programs received a waiver on no-objection grounds. It is just seems to be a waste of time and money, but it is hard...

Hi lopi65, How are you? Did you manage to get a waiver? Best, Julia

That's so unfair if Fulbright did not mind and your government did not mind becuase they make their decidions based on these two documents. I think you might have a decent chance of resolving your case in a court, only one thing that might let you down is that you are not a US citizen, i.e., the...

Beli, When did you get denied last time? Just recently? I hope there will be some changes in DOS and they would become more reasonable. My understanding is that in the countries where there is no F commisions DOS plays the role of a sponsor, and gives the sponsor views, but in countries...

Maybe you should try to contact your local office of the program and ask if they would be willing to accept the money back. Then, you could let us know? I did not have a sucess on this issue.

I am just wondering if there are positive hardship waiver cases recently in case of governmental programs or they are not approved anymore?
