The following is an December 13, 1996 HUD memo
regarding the J-1 waiver approval policy. This is to inform
you that the moratorium on new submissions announced on
August 26, 1996 has been continued indefinitely. This
moratorium has also been extended retroactively to include
all applications which were in the possession of the
department prior to the moratorium of August 26, 1996. HUD
will not accept J-1 waiver applications for approval until
further notice.
To: All Interested Parties From: Henry G. Cisneros Subject: J-1 Waiver Approval Policy Date: December 13, 1996 Thank you for your interest in the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s J-1 waiver approval policy. This is to inform you that the moratorium on new submissions announced on August 26, 1996 has been continued indefinitely. This moratorium has also been extended retroactively to include all applications which were in the possession of the department prior to the moratorium of August 26, 1996. Due to reduction in the departments staffing levels and the necessity to coordinate oversight responsibilities, the Department of Housing and Urban Development will not accept J-1 waiver applications for approval until further notice. The Department is also taking this action based on a General Accounting Office (GAO) review of the J-1 program administered by both federal and state governments. We regret any inconveniences or hardship this may create.
