Do I need to have my J 1 visa checked when I go to the United States as a short-term visiting scholar? I haven't heard from you for over a month. How can I get review results?

There are several reasons for being checked:

1, studying or studying sensitive majors, such as chemistry/bioengineering, is relatively developed in the United States and is unwilling to disclose its nature because it may pose a threat to American security. So I will check with the school one by one, and your background will be investigated. A major like aerospace is 100% rejected.

2, family background. If parents or relatives have criminal records, they may also be examined if they are refused to go abroad/immigrate.

3. Expressing mistakes on the spot and being mistaken for concealing facts. Probably because I was nervous during the interview, I didn't express that I had enough visas and was checked by the visa officer.

I do have friends who haven't heard from me for a month, but this situation is not optimistic. Most people who are inspected will be notified in a week or so if they can pass. However, it is also possible that there are too many people going to the United States to apply for visas. You can go to the American Consulate in official website for relevant information, but I believe the American Consulate will inform you as soon as possible.
