J1 waiver approved NOS

[elle_]

I decided to post my J1 waiver timeline here, maybe it can help some of you. I had J1 visa when I was an exchange student and I got funds from my country's government and from European Union. In Statement of Reason I said that my studies were about to end and that I would like to go back to work in USA. In my field of studies it is easier to get job from USA, I also mentioned that.
