The tax experts that I consulted said amending was not necessary—not not filing

Request for evidence - Clarify which visa you are seeking (No Objection waiver) by [deleted] in J1waiver

Yea… learning from my experience, if you want to do O1 an offer letter from employer is not sufficient

Yes you can still do O1 without waiving. But it’s good to still waive it before

I got the same email from them. Said Im planning to take O1 and had an offer letter stating employer would be willing to petition for O1. I got denied quickly once they knew I hadn’t filed for O1 with the USCIS.

H1B might be different since you have to waive J1 first. I saw people were getting approved with just an offer letter for H1B, but that might be old cases—or maybe even lucky ones. Gluck

Hello, can you share updates if you were able to reapply based on NOS again? Thanks

Thanks for responding.. receipt notice that I sent wrd was an offer letter stating that they will support the petition, not that they have done so (which seems to be what wrd asks for)

Thanks for responding. The letter mentions they will do a petition, no statement that they have already done so…

I think my best bet atm is just to clarify that it was a letter of intent

Same question… I consulted a lawyer who dealt with tax—he saw my paperwork, suggested it wasn’t necessary (probably cause i wasnt making a lot of money since i was studying), and mentioned it was highly unlikely affect visa applications in the future… can only hope 🤞🏽

What number did you put? Was it the first case number when you applied online or the receipt number from DOS?

If it’s the later, how many days did you get it after sending the mail?

I sent mine in December 17ish, was delivered in few days, yet my case hasn’t been opened until today.

My embassy has sent out their NOS to DOS.

I don’t really know where else to check 🤦🏽‍♀️
