Does this affect on my OPT approval process - Need J1 waiver for H1B?

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Admin]

I am on F1 visa and graduating in May 2013. I came to USA on exchange visitor visa (J1) under a student exchange program from my university in India in 2009.After completing a program I returned to my home country and stayed there for 1.5 years. J1 visa has a two years home country residency requirement. I did not fulfill that requirement and I came on F1 visa to study. I m about to graduate now and looking forward to file an OPT and and to get an H1 later on. I need a J1 waiver in order to be eligible for an H1. Does this affect on my OPT approval process?
