Hi everyone,

I’m a 24F from Indonesia going to the US as an Au Pair on May 19 (J-1 visa).

My DS-2019 shows:

• Box 1: “Not Subject to 212(e)”
• Box 2B: “Subject to Skills List”

But my visa says I am subject to 212(e).

I thought Indonesia was removed from the Skills List in the 2024 update (Public Notice 12555), so I’m confused.

I’m privately sponsored by my host family (not government-funded) and my aupair agency.

My questions:

• Is this a clerical error or does it mean I’m actually subject?
• What should I do in this situation?
• Has anyone seen this before? or been in similar situation?

Thanks in advance.
