| 49. | In a situation when my application for "no-objection" statement is denied, will it be reconsidered? |
| | | | |
No, J1 waiver applications are exhaustively considered, and it is the policy of the Waiver Review Division not to reconsider No Objection statement applications once a final determination has been made. You may, however, reapply using another statutory basis for waiver should another one apply to your situation. |

| | | You will require: | | | |
| |  | A letter from the designated official of the interested U.S. Government agency explaining
why: | | | | | |
| • | Granting such a waiver is in the public interest of the U.S. | | | • | It would be detrimental to the agency if you return to your home country to fulfill the two-year requirement |

| 51. | Based on the fear of persecution if I return to my home country, how do I apply for a waiver? | | | |

| 52. |
Can I apply for a J-1 waiver based on my twin fear of persecution and the exceptional hardship that could be faced by my family on my returning to the home country? | | | |
