There has been no updates for two weeks now? Any issues with waivers showing completed. Application was submitted to ARO since Feb 2024, no update yet!

How long should you wait before filing first waiver if denied entry on 212 misrepresentation while applying for TN visa. I do not have any criminal record and have a long history of visiting US with no long term stays.

@Free2Travel

Could you please mention where approx you are located in Canada

I submitted via Esafe, & Biometrics in Fort Erie Ontario. This would be my 5th waiver renewal. So not new to this

Created Feb 6 2024
Submitted Feb 8 2024
Still waiting.

Seems crazy to me how out of order this process has been. So just wondering if location and therefore volume of applications plays into this somehow? There's no way April and May should be ahead of early Feb. Seeing this I'm literally checking daily

Applied Feb 6th replied 1 month ago   #467

Just received my 5 year waiver today, my 3rd time getting it, a little over 4 months.

Created 3/21
Submitted to ARO 4/16
Approved 8/22

Best of luck to others waiting

Yes that is correct submitted to ARO but this is for I-192.

Melissa replied 1 month ago   #464

@Melissa Where did you see the term: "PENDING FURTHER REVIEW"?

Are you talking about "Submitted to ARO"?

J Rogers replied 1 month ago   #463

Has anyone been approved after their status changed to "pending further review"?

We submitted Oct 30
Paid, and Application was on file Nov 9th
Pending further review August 2nd

Just a bit nervous because its been 9 months now and many people have been approved around the 6 month mark.

Melissa replied 1 month ago   #462

@Thompson S i believe John has said that ARO sends the same generic reply to everyone who inquires. I’ve tried lol. The waiting period is tough but don’t fret. It’s coming.

This is my second waiver

Geoffrey replied 1 month ago   #459

@J Rogers In your experience, does sending a follow up email help nudge things along? Unfortunately I'm another one of those waiting since November 3rd, 2023. Its a first time application and been over ten years since last conviction

Thompson S replied 1 month ago   #458

@Kristin That particular offence is not very common and also new. I think you are referring to a conviction under:

162.1 (1) Everyone who knowingly publishes, distributes, transmits, sells, makes available or advertises an intimate image of a person knowing that the person depicted in the image did not give their consent to that conduct, or being reckless as to whether or not that person gave their consent to that conduct, is guilty

(a) of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years; or
(b) of an offence punishable on summary conviction.

Homeland Security is probably having trouble assessing the seriousness of the offence. Remember, despite your obvious attempt to shame people you feel that "had it coming", this legislation exists because of this:

Rehtaeh Anne Parsons (/rəˈteɪə/, rə-TAY-ə;[1] December 9, 1995 – April 7, 2013), was a 17-year-old Cole Harbour District High School student who attempted suicide by hanging[2] at her home in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, on April 4, 2013, leading to a coma and the decision to switch her life support machine off on April 7, 2013.[3] Her death has been attributed to online distribution of photos of an alleged gang rape that occurred 17 months prior to her suicide, in November 2011.[3][4] On a Facebook page set up in tribute to her daughter, Parsons' mother blamed the four boys who allegedly raped and released images of her, the subsequent constant "bullying and messaging and harassment", and the failure of the Canadian justice system, for her daughter's decision to die by suicide.[5]

Unfortunately, you are going to get lumped into the same category as men who use these images to blackmail sometimes very vulnerable victims. I hope you got some skilled help with the personal letter. This is NOT a simple waiver at all.

I would love some insight! I applied for my first waiver but the timelines been horrible. It’s from a charge I was convicted of for sending the 4 headless nudes of my ex husbands mistress to him and 2 others ‘without the known consent’ so thinking it’s one that’s not very common but reads scary.

@Michelle

Yes very weird timelines. I am similar to you, February is almost completed yet various waivers from December still pending and few Januarys in at all. Strange.

J Rogers replied 1 month ago   #455

Timelines are all over...

Most of my applications submitted in Nov and Dec 2023 are still waiting to be completed. Varies from renewals to new clients. All applications submitted in Feb 2024 are completed. Today received a 5 year waiver for renewal client - submitted to ARO on March 14, 2024. Go figure...
