This service is for J1 exchange visa holders who need a statement of no objection to seek a waiver of the 2-year home residency requirement as specified in Section 212(e) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act.

We can only provide a statement of no objection to the US Department of State if you have a UK passport. If you do not hold a UK passport, contact the embassy of the country who issued your passport.
