枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / URGENT!!!! I already got job offer in US. Now applying J1 waiver of the two years' residency requirement. I already got NOT OBJECTION LETTER from Canadian Government.(becasue I am PR of Canada)Now they asking for Sponsor's view. And I asked my Sponsor and I was told that they will say "against" my waiver!!!!!! They said it is US federal government policy because I received funding from US government (actually only $2400 ), then they have to against!!!! Is there any way to play around? Thanks a lot!!! Very sad about that!!! -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-12 {338} (#1839582@0)

I mean Sponsor----it is a federal government agency. Thanks. -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-12 (#1839702@0)

Not yet. Potentially, my waiver will be refused, if my sponsor's view is object to my waiver. I only got $2400 from USgovernment. It is really unfair!!! And I already got a job offer in US and my husband is in US :( Help!!!
1. How can I stop them to send a negative sponsor's view
2. Can I hire a lawyer to help with this?
If the waiver is turned down, my life will be totally destoryed!!! -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 {278} (#1840280@0)

I am thinking about that. If possible, I am willing to do that!!! Thank you for your suggestion! -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840468@0)

If you got any funding from US Government then you get big trouble for the waiver of two-year home country residence, no matter how much you got. -charleslike(愚人); 2004-8-13 (#1840474@0)

为了保证正常的人材交流(主要是学术),美国法律规定持J1(配偶J2)在完成后必须回原住国服务两年.这个条件可以被赦免如果得到原住国同意.但有个前提是没有拿美国政府的资金. -charleslike(愚人); 2004-8-13 (#1840509@0)

I do not know that before coming to US. Otherwise I will not accept this internship for sure!!!! Nobody told me that. They just told me there is 2 year residency requirement. I do not knowit is impossible to waiver it. Before coming, I asked them and I was told that I am living in Canada so probably not applicable to me. (I still have the email in writing. So I think I should able to complain it somewhere). Do you any suggestion to play around? Or I need to hire a lawyer? Thanks. -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 {296} (#1840510@0)

really worry about the job offer in US!!! -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840521@0)

and my husband in US!!! that is really unfair!!! -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840522@0)

Thanks. In my case, I got my J1 visa in Canada, so I supposed to go back to Canada for two years. -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840595@0)

And it surprises me that it takes 5 months for the No Objection application. In their offical website, it says 3-4 months :( -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840607@0)

And, if I cannot stop the negative sponsor's view, after 5 months, I will receive an answer of "your waiver application is turned down". That's terrible!!! -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840610@0)

美国话题/ 老公J2，我JI,他是公民，这样到美国是不是我可以保留我的PR身份，我只登陆了1年，但是要不要出去前在哪各地方交个什么申请呀？要不过两年海关不让我入境怎么办？ -fxok425(急死我了); 8.11 12:26 (#1837466) -redhill(红山); 2004-8-13 (#1840533@0)

这个fxok425对J类签证根本不在乎。不知她是怎么想的。其实我们非常喜欢加拿大，比美国好多了，要不是这边工作不好找，才不会去美国那。 -fxok425(急死我了); 8.11 16:53 (#1837968)Reply -redhill(红山); 2004-8-13 {124} (#1840540@0)

Probably she has not received any funding from either Canadian government or US government, then she no need to follow two years' rule. I just guess -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840598@0)

我看她是不在乎。她连自己是什么签证都懒得看。对别人的提醒也置若罔闻。好像是我们是H类，哎呀，我也不知道，懒得看，反正不是F -fxok425(急死我了); 8.11 13:35 (#1837622) -redhill(红山); 2004-8-13 {95} (#1840903@0)

I plan to go back to Canada first. And apply H1 from there. But I need the waiver of the "2 year foreign residency requirement" first. Otherwise I cannot apply H1 at all!!! -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840605@0)

Now I understand why people say "J1=JUE WANG" :( -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840613@0)
You are right. You can not apply H1 within 2 years. You have to return to Canada. -redhill(红山); 2004-8-13 (#1840654@0)
if you took money from US government, no way to change your status. Lawyer can do nothing, but they like to earn your money. -hucan(whocan); 2004-8-13 (#1840720@0)

I am not going to change my status. I just want to get the waiver. I talked to the person who is writing the sponsor's view, the case will be pended until Monday. There is at least one thing I can do. They toldme that they have policy to say NO to all waivers. But nobody told me that policy before I am coming. It is cheating!!! Can I appeal it? -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 {136} (#1840833@0)

it is too long. I post it in another section -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-8-13 (#1840861@0)

comfort! maybe you can return the money. -cangirl(cangirl); 2004-8-18 (#1847777@0)
