OK. Here's more clearly; if I later transferred to another employer with a new H1B, and that visa expired, theoretically would it be ok to continue to live on a valid B on my passport, like it's the case with an expiration of L you agreed with above? Many thanks for reading and responding so...

Hi, I have been looking for an answer to this in older posts but can't find an answer to the exact q. I got my L1B visa stamp in Dec 2005. I already had a B visa approved for 10 years and I had traveled on it. This visa expires in 2013. Since the L1B is 5yrs max (I was given 3yrs and I...

finally getting it! Thanks! At last I think I just about got it! :o All these posts about "L to H" etc. made me think that you can transfer from a visa to another visa. Obviously I wasn't exactly thinking... :rolleyes: I guess if I enter now with my current visa and return and then...

new development and q! (sorry that's urgent) I'm not clear from the above response about whether I have a valid visa if I never make it to the States. Would I be able in such a case to transfer my visa from L to H or whatever, I mean without an actual entry to the States under the L visa? Or do...

Hi, I got my L1B visa on Dec 2005, and it is now March 2006 and I'm still with my current employer outside the States. I have not traveled to the States since I got my visa. The delay of entry to the States is due to a general reorganization in the US company that I had no idea about at the...

hi! Check this forum (run a search). I have asked the same question and also offered a response once I was done with my Statement of Reason. good luck! -GRE

Good news! :D Guys, I just checked my online case status and it shows Favorable Recommendation! HOORAY!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone, esp. LucyMo, for helping by replying to my anxious msgs. Any idea what's next would be appreciated but I definitely am feeling better much better now!! -GRE :D :D

oh my goodness! LucyMo, Wow, I don't know how you could stand waiting for so long. Of course life is not waiting and I have other things going but my employment depends on this waiver (my employer wants to file for HB1 asap). Boy oh boy. At least you could call and ask what's going on. I...

DoS email address? LucyMo thanks for your response. I really appreciate it. I know I have to wait. It can be nerve-wrecking and it's been almost 2 months now since the sponsor view were requested. I recently found out that my ISP cancelled my home email address, which I gave to the DoS in...

Hi, I hope someone can answer this. I have applied for my J1 visa waiver and I have finished submitting all the papers requested. According to my online status, I'm now at "Sponsors view requested" stage but I have received nothing from the DoS regarding this. That has a date of April 14th. Is...

GC straight away from J1??! Hey LucyMO, That's confusing. If it is allowed to get GC straight from J1, why would ppl ever need a HB1? Or are you saying that this is only possible for those who do not have the HRR on their J1? :confused: thanks, GRE

congrats! Yes, it's easier when you are funding from you own country and you get a Letter of No Objection from your country's authorities. I personally got a ridiculously small amount of $$ from a USG-funded source and I'm now past the No Obj LEtter stage and waiting for Sponsor Views. Please...

statement of reason Hi there, I don't know if I'm successful on my J1 waiver yet, but I'm past this stage and I feel for you waiting for someone to chime in, so here I am offering my .2 cents for what are worth. From this and other forums on J1 waivers, I wrote mine having in mind two main...

re:sponsor views Ah, that's good to know. I haven't received their mail yet, I checked my status online. Any idea how long this takes? thanks, GRE

Hi, I was hoping I can get an advice on this one. I am past the stage where they request the No Obj Letter. I have submitted it along with my IAP-66 forms and the statement of reason and they have reviewed them. Now, I see on my case status page that they request "sponsor views". Any idea what's...

Congrats!!! Congrats!!! I can imagine your relief!! May I ask a question: I go past the stage of submitting the No Objection letter etc. and they now have sent me a "Sponsor views" request. Any idea what's that? I thought I was about done after I sent out the last bunch of papers. Thansk...

do u mean the "pink forms", right? because they're not exactly "originals" (many thx) Thanks for the warning! Gosh, I'm glad I didn't send them off yesterday. What I meant by "originals" is of course the pink forms themselves, which, if I remember well, are still the carbon copies of a...

can we just cut the A4? It doesn't look pretty and it's not the exact width but I am at my wits end here!!

so how did you all do it then? If no-one has faced a similar issue, I suppose either all of you have submitted in U.S. letter size or in whatever paper size is available in your home country, effectively ignoring the instructions. Can someone chime in and let me know what they did...

clarification to my 1st post :eek: I think I might have confused things in the second paragraph of my 1st post. All I meant to ask is: 1) is it ok to sent the IAP-66 originals instead of the requested copies? 2) is not, and since I can't find 8-1/2'' X 11'' paper to copy them on, is it ok to...
