2nd application questions

BackToUSAposted 3 weeks ago

I’m about a year away from my 5 year waiver expiring. Reluctantly I am going to reapply because the crap has to end sometime.

I know I have to have new fingerprints. Do I need to have court documents pulled again? Or can I just use the ones from before (no changes). Also I have a pardon now - do I just submit the pardon document I received along with the fingerprint results?

Because I did the pardon and waiver at the same time - I can’t remember if the local police check was needed for the pardon or the waiver - can someone tell me if it’s needed for the waiver?

I had letters of reference and a letter from myself as well. I will update mine - do I need to bother my friends again? One died so may need a new one.

Is the turnaround about 6 months now?

Any advice for reapplication would be great. I had a sucky company do it last time.

Thank you in advance!!!

Reapplications should be done about 4 months out at best (form when the other one expires) because they do not look at the date. If you do it too early, you simply get 2 waivers, and the old one becomes useless.

Court can be re-used. They will probably ask you for privacy act fingerprints, (in addition to the regular ones) but they give you 87 days if they do.

Update your personal letter as well.
