Hi All,
Michelle here from FPS Fingerprint Pardon Services. I cannot believe that this is something that I have to post, but lately, I have been dealing with very upset clients, due to the fact that days after filing the E-safe, they book a trip to the USA. So, I am posting this to save yourself and or the company that you hired to assist you with a Waiver.
1. Do not book a trip until you have your waiver.
2. It does not matter that you have had waivers in the past. It is not a guaranteed that you will receive a renewal waiver. Sometimes this happens.
3. There is no way to beg, plead, or force the USA to complete your waiver sooner.
4. As a service, I try to predict the best I can regarding timelines. However, I have no control over RCMP, Court Houses, or the USA. Either do you.
5. Timelines right now: RCMP - up to 120 days. Courthouses from Edmonton or Wetaskin, Alberta, Hamilton, ON, and Regina, SK are minimum 6 - 8 months, or longer. Some court houses in NF are 1 year.
NOTE: Portal, ND POE will not complete their portion of fingerprints, without court documents......They will turn you away.
6. USA is up to 6 months.
I am now telling people to be prepared for 1 to 2 years for a waiver.
Plan ahead, and do not blame anyone but yourself, if you booked a trip without a waiver, especially if you have been denied or have had a previous waiver.
@J Rogers Thank you John! I appreciate you helping me. Do you think they would deny my waiver because I submitted the Pardon Court Form?
I submitted my RCMP prints (my record was still showing as I didn't have my pardon yet, just applying for it- it was failure to comply with my probation order with a fine), A note about my charge that lead to the record of failure to comply (It was conditionally discharged and its been 13 years now). Personal Statement, Letters of reference, work letter
@NSpring They would simply ask you for different documents. No need to be nervous.
Once you upload something to eSAFE, if your insistent at the border, they won't turn you away. Most of my clients go without court documents, and if they give the person a hard time they call me and I talk the officer into taking it. Remember, they are not keeping anything anyways, they are just ensuring your documents MATCH what has been uploaded.
