Do
I Have To Be Government Employee to File a U.S. Agency Requested J-1
Waiver? |
| Hi
William, I am a J-1 visa holder and want to obtain an “agency request“ J-1 waiver. Do I have to be employed in a U.S. government agency to file the agency request J-1 waiver? and what are the other J-1 waiver options? Answer, If a U.S. government agency believe that the J- visa exchange visitor's departure would be detrimental to a program or activity of interest to the U.S. government agency, it may request a J-1 waiver on behalf of the alien visitor. The J-1 exchange visitor can be employed by either a private employer or a U.S. government agency. An J-1 visa holder object to the 2-year foreign residence requirement can file an J-1 waiver application on the following bases. 1) A J-1 waiver may be
requested by a U.S. governmental agency on behalf of the J-1 visitor.
It should be beneficial to the U.S. security interests, or to that of
the public good.
2) A J-1 waiver may be obtained when the 2-year foreign residence requirement would result in exceptional hardship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse or child. 3) If the J-1 visitor can show that he or she would be subject to persecution in the home country on the basis of race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership. 4) The J-1 visitor's home government issues a letter of “no objection “ to the exchange visitor's remaining in the United States. But a foreign medical graduates are not eligible for the “no objection“ J-1 waiver. |
