A professor likes to support me for one year, and sponsor my H1b visa application. Now I'm applying for the waiver. I already got the case
number from the US Department of State. Moreover, according to the new
requirements, my waiver application doesn't need to be approved by my former employer, and only the certification is required to show that I settled all relationship with my former employer in China, which I already got. Several days ago, I submitted an application to the Embassy of P.R. China in the US to get the application form. I want to ask you how long I can finish the waiver application from now on. How long to finish the H1b visa application after the waiver application is approved?
