USCIS apporve my J-1 waiver with H1b simutaneously
Hi, Just want share my experience.
I got my favorable recommendation granted by DOS on June 7th, and the lawyer of the company filed my H1b immediately when I send them the I-612 receipt. I was just contacted this morning that my H1b has been approved, and I received the notice form USCIS that my J-1 waiver was approved today. My lawyer said that it is a standard procedure that USCIS grant the J-1 waiver for the purpose to approve H-1b. Mine is premium process. But my lawyer said that it is not related to premium or not. The lawyer could actually request the USCIS to approve the J-1 waiver if the H-1b has been filed and waiting for the J-1 approval evidence.
