Hello folks,
I am reasonably advanced in my waiver process, and the Brazilian Embassy has already sent the DOS the "No Objection" letter. Now, I received a letter from the DOS saying they have everything but a "Statement of Reason".
Can somebody help me understand what should be - and what should NOT be in such statement?
I'll be graduating on an MBA this may, which was sponsored by my company (a branch from a US firm). I'm switching offices from Sao Paulo (Brazil) to San Francisco within the firm, so I plan to stay in the US under an L visa. A small complication is that although the firm is the one paying for the course, the university (UPenn) is the J1 visa sponsor - so the DOS has never seen the affiliation btw me and the actual financial sponsor (apparently it has not been an issue so far...).
tks a lot in advance!
