I am from India, and was in the US from 1999-2001
on a J1 with a 212(e) requirement. We have been living
in Canada since July 2001. I decided recently to clear
the 212(e) requirement (to improve my catchment
area for jobs). I have two of the required three NORIs
and should be getting my third one soon from my regional
passport office. My confusion regards the process of
applying for the waiver. I went to the state department
website and filled out their on-line form and saved and
printed the resulting forms, bar codes etc. This was
Tuesday night. But Wednesday morning I discovered
mistakes (I had typed dates incorrectly, and had missed
details on one IAP-66). I retyped yesterday, correcting
things, using the case code I had obtained the day before.
It suddenly occurs to me that this might create problems.
Does it? Afterall the process is not complete until I mail
out the printed forms (and have the Indian embassy mail
the no obligation letter to the State department).
And can one mail the DS-3035 to the Department of State
before getting the no obligations from the embassy?
