Hi,
I started the process for the J1 waiver. I got the case number and the no objection statement from my embassy has been send today to DOS. Now, how long does it take to get the waiver?
My situation is desperate. My prospective employer wants to sponsor my H-1B Visa, but they are affraid that I will not get the waiver until October. My J1 visa expires on January 3. So they said that I will have to wait until october 2006 to request a H-1 visa, and they can not wait that long. According will their attorney the waiver process can take up to a year and there is no way I will get the waiver on time.
Please, any advise or options will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
PE
