Hello Guys,
I matched this year but my visa underwent administrative processing. It's still pending but the program couldn't afford to wait for me. They requested a waiver from NRMP one month only after the Residency start date. The waiver is granted and they released me. Its really hard for me. Even harder than going unmatched.
Now I'm confused between two options
First is to apply for this year match. And if I match I will apply for j1 again ( I may go under administrative processing again)
Second, I will try to find a research on J1 Visa then i will do change of category while I'm in US if I match. But I have to wait another year for the next match, 2020. Furthermore, I heard that sometimes change of category takes up to 5-6 month ( I don't know if that true or not, so I really appreciate your input)
My situation is so complicated and I really appreciate your advice. Thank you
