How long does the waiver take?

[giarosell]

Hello everyone,

I had a J1 visa with the 2 years rule and now I am in my country. I want to come back because I have a job offer and I also have my partner there.
I want to ask for a waiver but my question is how long is going to take to have an answer.

Thank you very much

It really depends on the basis in which you are applying. Is this based on "No Objection"?

Yes, it's a NO Objection.

Yes, it's a NO Objection.

The declared time is 6-8 weeks for original processing by the DOS once they get all the required documentation.
