Are you able to obtain a “No Objection Statement” from your home country?
You may request a waiver of the 2-year home residency requirement based upon a “No Objection Statement”. Your home country’s government, through its embassy in Washington, D.C., may issue a “No Objection Statement”. The “No Objection Statement” must be sent directly from the embassy to the U.S. Department of State’s Waiver Review Division. The “No Objection Statement” must specifically set forth that your home country’s government does not object to you not satisfying the 2-year home residency requirement. This “No Objection Statement” must further state that it does not object to the possibility of you obtaining lawful permanent residence (i.e. a green card) in the United States.
