Please help me!

My employer is going to sponsor my H-1B visa, but I just find out that I have to get a J-1 waiver before I apply for H1B. However, I don't have my original DS-2019 form with me! What should I do?

I was on J-1 visa on 2004 for a summer ESL program, but then I transferred to another US university on a F-1 visa. No one ever mentioned anything about getting a waiver, so I no longer have my DS-2019 form.

I've been trying hard to find a contact info of the J-a waiver program, but all my efforts are in vain. I have contacted my former university at Michigan. They no longer have my DS-2019 on file and gave me a sevis record where I was able to find out the program number , the program code and start date, end date. However, after submitting the online form, I have to mail a copy of my DS-2019 form to a J-1 waiver office.

Please help me! Thank you very much!

Hey suzee,

Did you find an answer to your question? I'm in the same case and the only thing I'm missing for my visa is this DS-2019 form (which I no longer have.. )

This would help greatly if you could tell me how you did ! Thanks in advance !

Did you really want to ask suzee? Her last post on this forum was about three years ago. There are several active immigration experts on this forum. Good luck.

I actually have a J1 visa. I'm also applying for a waiver. They require all copies of my previous DS 2019! I can't find them all. Anybody can help?
