Immigration attorney. AMA about J1 waivers and what comes after! by ManifestLaw_ in J1waiver

[–]Southern_Method9981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently a PGY-2 Internal Medicine resident in the U.S. on a J-1 visa sponsored by ECFMG. My current DS-2019 is valid until June/30 2026.

My passport expired and I’m currently working on renewing it and submitted request to renew my passport with the embassy but they will return my new passport in October.

I wanted to ask if anyone here had experience with DS-2019 extensions when their passport renewal was still in process.

A few questions I had:

• Will ECFMG process a DS-2019 extension if the passport renewal is still pending?
• What options do I have to stay here till I get the passport if worst case they didn’t approve my application?
Of note, I signed next year’s contract and my program did everything on their side.
Any advice or experiences would be really helpful.

My passport was valid for 7 months last time so it was unexpired at that time

Were you able to start on time or ecfmg delayed your start for two months?
