What are the hardship waiver processing procedures?
A. 1. Send a check in the amount of $215.00, payable to the Department of State, along with the current version of the Data Sheet (DS 3035) to the U.S. Department of State, Waiver Review Division, P.O. Box 952137, St. Louis, MO 63195-2137. Once your fee is processed, you will receive a letter in the nature of a receipt with your name and waiver review case number, along with a standard form letter explaining the process. NOTE: This fee should be paid at the earliest possible time to avoid delays in filing a waiver application. By paying the fee, you are not obligated to file a J-1 waiver nor will such affect your J-1 status.
