A matter of fact for your reference, a lot of students coming from India to US on J-1 for internship or completing their last semester are put on J-1 HRR directly without any inquiry into their application at the visa window.

They have been meticulously careful in "crossing every T and dotting every I." I wholeheartedly recommend their qulaity team for any immigration need.

Kudos to all of those on this team!
