Someone from J1 waiver portal just received USCIS waiver approval 2 weeks after DOS approval

Looks like once DOS approval is received USCIS approval is pretty quick. Hang in there guys. Greatest hurdle still seems to be getting past HHS. So timeline wise after HHS seems to be about 9-10 weeks between DOS and USCIS which is a bit more reassuring.

Lawyer just emailed my HHS rec

Submitted Nov, attorney received letter today and forwarded to me. I think more will come this month from the look of things. Still no update on DOS website. Stay hopeful guys looks like things are finally moving. Hopefully DOS starts moving faster too.

Are we going to have to wait till the end of May for the next set of updates? It sounds like all the updates have come the last week of the month, first in March and then April. Has anyone that applied in 2025 not gotten a recommendation yet?
