Is it possible to have my sponsor submit an application of urgency stating that they need me to come back and fill in the position at a government agency I was supposed to work at under an H-1B, when the government agency who isn't allowed to sponsor gives a written statement?

I was working for a government agency on a J-1. At the end of my program, the government agency applied for a waiver for the 2 year home requirement for me. At the same time, a sponsor company applied for an H-1B (but I will still be working for the government agency). Meanwhile the cap was...

Thank you! Hopefully I won't even need the waiver!

I know it's bad timing... it looks like I am going to leave the country during the 30 days grace period in July and hopefully come back some time in September with my new visa. I hope that this will work out timewise!

I can't extend my J-1... as trainee you can only stay for 18 months and thi time will be up. I heard though that it might go quicker to obtain a waiver from a IGA then with the no objection letter, so I am just hoping it will work out... or maybe I won't even need the waiver!

My J-1 expires at the end of June!

Fulbright is not the case here :p

There is no such comment in my passport or on the visa.

Oh, I see... yes, I do have the visa sticker :) but that doesn't say anything about the 2HYRR.

What is this visa sticker that you're talking about? Yes, I did send a copy of my DS-2019. The instructions didn't say to copy the I-94...

I talked to two people at the DOS... one told me it takes 4 weeks, the other said 2 months... in either case I'll be better off to apply for the waiver as well now!

:D But for the advisory opinion... they don't look on the I-94, do they? I didn't have to make a copy of it. Just fill in some information about the I-94 number.

I am trying to get out the Adivsory Opinion and the Waiver application at the same time. If I wait for the Advisory Opinion and then start the waiver application, it will take months! I don't have that time... my sponsor wants me to start on a different visa in October. Of course, all this...

My I-94 doesn't have a note at all... neither "subject" nor "not subject"... what does that mean in this case? I did file for an advisory opinion though.

Can they apply for the waiver on my behalf?
