Hello,
I have applied for J1 waiver on the basis of no objection certificate (NOC) from my home country. After receiving no objection letters from the home country, I submitted them in XX consulate on 15th April, 2015. They told me that embassy in Washington will directly send NOC to US department of states. I submitted my DS3035, statement of reason and waiver fee ($120) on 9th May, 2015. The J1 waiver status website showed these documents were received on 17th June. I have received the copy of NOC from Washington via mail on 6th May, 2015. However, the J1 waiver status website showed that they did not receive NOC till 1st July. I have emailed them (US DoS) a couple of times after 1st of July and they told me that they have not received it from the embassy. I called the embassy in Washington in second week of July and they told me they are going to re-send the document. I called them again on third week of July and they told me they have sent the NOC. I also received an email from the embassy confirming the fact on last week of July. I have emailed USDoS with my copy of NOC on August first week. However, there is still neither status update on the J1 waiver website nor any email saying what's happening with my case. It has been three months from my initial application and I am getting worried that if something is going wrong with my application. Any suggestions will be helpful. Here's my timeline:
First week of April, 2015: Received letters of recommendations from my home country.
Second week of April,2015: Submitted them to my consulate.
May 6, 2015: Received a copy of NOC via mail from the embassy in Washington.
May 9, 2015: Sent DS3035, statement of reason etc. to US department of states.
June 17, 2015: status updated that they have received my documents except the NOC.
Second or third week of July, 2015: NOC was re-sent by Washington embassy.
No status update till June 17th, 2015.
Thanks in advance.
