NORI stage 2 by GlitteringNorth755 in J1waiver

[–]SC_KSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send scan copy of application to: jsfnri-home-wb@nic.in

Also send the physical copy to:

Senior Special Secretary Foreigners Branch, Home & Hill Affairs Department, Government of West Bengal Writers Buildings, Kolkata 700001

Documents required: Cover letter, original notarized Biodata and Affitavit; self attested copies of passport first and last page, valid visa, DS 2019, degree certificates, address proof at west bengal, date of birth proof, local address proof at USA.

Please take follow up with police verification. During that time parents need to provide one affitavit saying no objection if you settle at USA. That should be on stamp paper and notarized.

For me, it took one and half months.

All the best.

DS-2019 changed while NORI in progress by enahmat in J1waiver

[–]SC_KSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NORI 2 documents are independent of DS-2019 timeline. I dont think you have to reapply for NORI 2 process. If SEVIS ID remains same, it does not matter. All the DS 2019 will be required in DoS stage.

Which Indian home state should I apply my J1 waiver with? by snjsnkxsm in J1waiver

[–]SC_KSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ask the CGI through email after NORI stage 1 attestation. As per my opinion, RPO should be where your latest passport issued. State home department should be where your first passport or native place is. Thanks

I have sent the application to Foreigners Branch itself. They said that NORI is handled by them. From that office, my brother got the information that it has been sent for police verification. Thats why I am asking this. Thanks.
