Hi, I am on a Research Scholar J-1 visa and would like to visit India. I have a current DS-2019, and when I visit India I would have to renew my J-1 visa in order to return to the US. I am thinking of applying for a waiver but I'm not sure if this would be frowned upon in the American Consulate in India, since I do not want my visa to be rejected. Should I wait and apply for the waiver AFTER I get my visa stamped in India? Please advise. Thank you!

I have the same problem,but your post solve my problem.
Hello. Before getting my green card I have applied for an exchange program, which requires j-1 visa. Now I have got my green card and also I received a confirmation for participating to the exchange program. My question is whether I can participate to the program without J-1 visa, just going to the US with my green card, and if yes, what kind of problems can I have concerning to my permanent resident status? How can I overcome the problems? Thank you.
