I have consulted a lawyer regards J-waiver; she told me that if you want "no objection" waiver, Chinese government does not cooperate with any laywer; therefore, you are on your own.
The longest part of the waiver process is get the Chinese school approval.
After that:
1. )send the filled out waiver application to SF Chinese embassy on July 17 2005.
2.) in the mean time, I ted the necessary info to National Visa Center on July 17, 2005
2.) Chinese embassy in Washington D.C. has send the approval to National Visa Center on August 28, 2006.
3.) On Sep 19, 2006, "Favoralbe recommendation" was granted.
4.) NOA letter was received that 612 has been filed to immigration office on end of Sep.
5.) still waiting for the final waiver.
Good luck.
P.S. Before I get my J1 Waiver, I also thought it is very difficult; however, after I did some research (I checked many cases listed on Chinese Emassy website and noticed many of them get their J1 waiver within two months.)
