Hi all,
This is for my friend who is in the following situation:
He has completed 2 yrs in J1 as a postdoc and also in the middle of J1 waiver process. He already got the case number from dept of state but has not submitted NOC from his home country. Now he is travelling to his home country (India) to get a stamping for another 2 years for the same job/postdoc position.
Will the consulate give him any trouble with the stamping since he already initiated J1 waiver? Do they ask him about J1 waiver during the stamping interview? or Can they find out easily about his J1 waiver application as he has a case number? What are his chances of getting his visa stamped in chennai consulate?
Please share your ideas/thoughts/experiences in this issue. I heard some sad stories of consulate denied J1 renewal stamping for who already in the J1 waiver process based upon "showed intentions to become an immigrant".
Thanks a lot.
