4．递交给DOS的$215可以用个人支票，DOS的要求如下
Processing Fee - Waiver of the Exchange Visitor Two-Year Home-Country
Physical Presence Requirement
As part of your DS-3035 Application for Recommendation of a J-1 Waiver of
the two-year home-country physical presence requirement, also known as the
foreign residence requirement, you must pay a processing fee of US$215.00.
THE PROCESSING FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE.
A check or money order must be made payable to the U.S. Department of State
and must include the following information:
Your waiver case number, if known;
Your full name;
Your date and place of birth; and
Your social security number, if you have one.
Important Information about Fee Payment
Your check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other institution
located in the U.S. and must be made payable in U.S. currency to the U.S.
Department of State.
If you reside outside the U.S. at the time of application, payment may
be made by a bank international money order or a foreign draft drawn on an
institution in the U.S. and must be made payable to the U.S. Department of
State in U.S. currency.
You must submit your check or money order with your waiver application,
as explained in Step 2 of the Instructions webpage for how to apply for a
waiver of the two-year home-country physical presence requirement. If you
submit your fee payment without your application, it will be returned to you
, and your application will not be processed.
Additional fees are not required for any dependent J-2 spouse or
children included on your waiver application.
４．受到DOS的FR并不代表豁免的完成。应该是受到来自于USCIS VSC的I-797， 才代表完成豁免。
原来pjiang老师的帖子说，中国大使馆收到材料后，一般当月会发出不持异议信，实际的情况不是如此。
根据最近2个月中国大使馆发出NOL的同学反应，J waiver 各个领事馆处理速度比较
1. LA, HS, NY领事馆管区处理最快，平均要1-2个月。服务态度最佳。
2. CC, SF领事馆管区处理居中，平均要2-3个月。
3. 大使馆管区处理最慢，平均要3-4个月。
如果自己的Case超过上述处理期限，还没有发出NOL的同学，要马上与使领馆联系。
大使馆管区的同学要准备足够的时间，尽可能早一些办理，以免耽误。特别是一些着急递交I-485, H1B visa，转身份的同学别让豁免延误你的大事。
谢谢
