Folks, I am currently in a quandary about how to proceed with my fellowship after the new development with the health ministry. It looks like when we sign the affidavit, we are agreeing to a clause that says "we have to accept a bond if the government were to enforce one in the future". Never planned for this and dont know what are ways around it. I have some basic questions and would appreciate if any one with knowledge in these areas answer them.
1. Do we need a no objection certificate from India for applying for J1 Waiver jobs?
2. Do we need a no objection certificate from India for applying for hardship Waiver?
3. Do we need a no objection certificate from India for applying for National Interest Waiver?
4. Does any one know if Indian government would require us to sign an affidavit even for obtaining no objection certificate?
5. If the Indian government did say we need to sign a bond in the future, is there a way to know for how long they would want us to be bound by it?
I have called the relevant authorities in India and learned about the new clause in the affidavit starting this year.
