Hello guys
I matched this year. Unfortunately, my J1 Visa is still under administrative processing. And the program doesn't want to wait for me longer due to major scheduling issues. They requested NRMP wavier after a month of the residency start. I feel it's really unfair. I already quit my job in my home country and breaking my contract this year for a reason that beyond my control will cause me a financial and career hardship. In addition the AP is just a matter of time and i'lI get the visa
My Questions,
I read the NRMP policy and there's a deferral option if both parties agree. Does that mean the program will be able to fill my position this year and at the same time save my position next year?
In worst case scenario if the waiver granted. What will happen to my current j1 visa application? And does that will affect my future visa application?
Anyone has an idea if the visa issue appears on the nrmp system? Because that will significantly lower my chance to be ranked high if I apply for the next match
I really appreciate your advice guys. My situation is really hard. It's even harder than going unmatched
