Hi-
I got DOS favourable recommendation on April 8 and I-614 was arrived at Vermont Service Center on April 18. I have been waiting for final waiver and I want to know could I file to H1-B petition with favourable recommendation and I-614 case number? Because everytime I checked on line case processing date shows the same date Jan 8, 2006 for J-1 waiver, no change within 3 months.
Any suggestion 'll be welcomed.
 
Yes you can apply for the H1.My lawyer did apply for my H1 pending the final USCIS approval.Also the fact that the status has not changed for 3 months can sound late but on the status tracker sometimes they update every so many months. It takes from 8-12 weeks for the USCIS.Hopefully yours is on its way!!!!!!!!!!All the best....
 
Thank you for reply

Thank you for your reply, Doc 73- it really causes some confidence and support on me.
It sounds you also applied at Vermont Service Center. I am Univ post-doc / research by J1 and now trying to process to shift to H1. I am not sure whether they do H1 transfer with DOS recommendation or not. Now 3 months over and I can wait for 1 to 2 months more. Could you tell me when did you get final J1 waiver? I heard H1 petition would be faster within 2 weeks if you gave 1200 bucks rapid assessment on case.
Appreciate your support!
 
On May 18 USCIS recieved the DOS favorable recommandation and I'm getting worried cause is taking so long for me to get the J1 waiver. I also hired a lawyer and applied for K1 visa although I didnt get the waiver so far. So, mlinoo you are not alone in this situation. We just need a lot of patience!
 
hey

All of you are at least hoping to get a waiver as you have got recipt or acknoledgement from USCIS but in our case - DOS sent favourable recommendation on 19th May and after that no word from USCIS.

There is no direct phone enquiry to J1 waiver division at DOS. We just don't kknow what to do. Some says your application might be lost , some says it might be in processing - but CIS has no signs.

Milano - could you tell us little more about rapid process by paying 1200 $ extra?

till then wait and watch...

Hi - thanks for your help. I would really appreciate if you can tell me where does this number belongs to -I dialed and it reached to the answering machine without any message like - this is DOS or something like this?

Do we need to leave a voice mail or a call back number?

Thanks
 
namasteall2000-
Hope having good thread on your case application. I mean it, extra charge would be helpful for quick assessment when you file for H1 petition. It is not still concerned for J1-waiver. I am also waiting for final J-1 waiver, cases are improving until Jan 29 of 2006 at on line status of cases processing.
