J1 waiver - urgent assistance requested

I applied for J1 waiver as follows:
- To Waiver review division St. Louis: Feb 28, 2007
- Sent the "3 No Objection" certificates (received from india) to Indian Embassy, Washington: Feb 28, 2007
- Indian Embassy forwarded "Final No Objection Certificate" to Waiver Division, Washington on Mar 6th 2007 (by normal mail I guess, since I received the copy of it on Mar 20th)...

My question is: My case status is not yet available on DOS website? What could be the reason. How & who do I contact for this. Is there a telephone number I can call. I did get a number, but one can never talk to an operator ...its all automated. I also sent a fax to Waiver division in washington.....but no response. What do I do!! Im in a fix.

Need your advise.

thanks

hi sunny

HI,
I did not read it properly,I too have the same question .......when will they notify me about my waiver status.Any questions,it's already 5 weeks!!!!!!!!!!.
Thanks,
Vik
 
My advice is just be patient. It took a month for my papers to show up online (check my signature), and over 5 weeks for the NOS. It seems that they are pretty slow with opening letters. At least everything else went pretty fast. Good luck
 
J1 waiver

I spoke to US Visa office washington yesterday. I told this lady that its been close to 3 weeks since I sent my waiver papers to St. Louis Waiver office and my status still does not show on their website. Well she said this is not alarming :eek: ...If it comes up on thew website within 6 weeks...then thats the normal trend..And there is nothing we can do about it. No followup possible until it shows up on the website. Just wait and watch.
