Hello everyone,

I applied in Jan. last year (2006) for a J1-Waiver. The documents got
lost several times and I had to resend and fax them to the Waiver
office.

After several phone calls I found out that the officer who has my case
is sick and I can not expect to get a decision anytime soon.

My question is, can I still apply for an F1 student visa even I do not
have a J1 Waiver yet? I will get the waiver sooner or later but do not
want to wait much longer to continue my studies in the US. I am
outside the us now in my home country.

Possibly. You won't be able to get an H- or L-type visa, nor obtain a Green
Card, but applying for an F-1 is worth a try.
