Yes, some J1 got their F1 without waiver, just simplely because INS made some mistakes (you can image how many cases they are handling everyday and how many mistakes they could make). But that don't mean the law has changed and same mistake will apply to everyone.
J1 need a waiver before changing to anyother visa status or GC, maybe B1/2 could be an exemption. Especially for PRC passort holder, all J1 need a waiver no matter what is annotated on the visa and DS-2019. This is based on Sino-US treaty regarding J1 issue.
回複:轉f1應該不需要豁免,但是以後再轉h或者移民,還是要

我沒誤導,我知道j1轉成f1的人,在辦h1之前才申請的豁免

不用豁免,但要出境簽證。以後要變H1或綠卡還是要豁免的
