If you’ve applied for a US Entry Waiver (I-192/I-212) and received a request for additional information from CBP (Customs and Border Protection), you only have 87 days to respond. Missing this deadline will result in a denial, forcing you to start the entire process over.
Here’s What They Won’t Tell You:
Most discount waiver companies and even many so-called immigration lawyers have no idea how to properly respond to these CBP requests. They won’t help you, and they don’t know how to fix this problem.
✔ Discount waiver companies only fill out basic forms—they are not equipped to handle CBP’s specific requests for additional information. If you ask them what to do next, they won’t have an answer because they lack the knowledge and experience.
✔ Most lawyers don’t specialize in US Entry Waivers, and they have no real understanding of how CBP processes these requests. They charge high fees, but when CBP asks for clarification, they often leave their clients stranded.
The bottom line? If you don’t submit the right response within 87 days, your waiver will be denied. You need an expert who actually understands how CBP evaluates waivers and what they are looking for in a response.
In this video, I explain:
âś” Why CBP requests additional evidence
âś” What happens if you miss the 87-day deadline
✔ How to correctly respond to CBP’s request
âś” The biggest mistakes that lead to waiver denials
✔ Why discount waiver companies and lawyers won’t help—and what to do instead
A proper response increases your chances of approval and prevents unnecessary delays. If you’ve received a CBP request and are unsure how to reply, this video will guide you through the process.

The 87 day requests are much easier with e-safe, as you upload the additional information right away. John is right in listing the usual requests. I did have a new request for a client last week, and that was for the "other" National Repository Holdings RCMP report". This is almost never requested for a travel waiver, but is requested for individuals planning on living in the USA. So, I will be curious to see what is on the report, that "flagged" the USA to ask for this.
Most requests are similar for the 87 days.
-court documents
-court transcripts
80% of requests are about these 2 things above and lately they have been asking a LOT.
Sometimes they also ask for a "statement, in your own words" even if you have submitted one already.
-Any other evidence they deem necessary
-I-212 applications sometimes
-see a panel doctor. (not common but it does happen)
If you know how to do a waiver, you should ANTICIPATE these requests, but even if you do not and the client gets a letter with "87 days" you can usually respond without much problem.
Ken Scott is looking to create an air of "mystery" around this application with the thought he has some extra "expertise" that others do not have. The truth is Ken does fewer waivers than most companies that do them, he doesn't even have a real office and he admits he won;t even use E-SAFE so although some things he mentions are correct (some places and lawyers are terrible about responding to the 87 day letter) he is not the solution he presents himself as.
The ironic thing is eSAFE lets you respond immediately to the request. Since he refuses to use eSAFE he would have to ship your response directly to Virginia. Extra time, extra cost.
