I was on a J1 research visa 6 years ago and my funding was from a private source and neither home or US government funding was involved. My IAP-66 (back then) was stamped NOT SUBJECT to 2-year home residency however when I got an advisory opinion DOS changed their mind and made me subject.
I just applied for a waiver on no objection grounds after the Czech Embassy gave me a no objection letter on the spot, however DOS is dragging their feet as I need the waiver my May 09 when I have my diversity visa interview in Prague.
How long does it normally take to get the waiver? DOS website says up to 8 weeks but I don't believe that as just the advisory opinion took more than two months.
Any ideas?
