Anyone know how long processing times for I-192 using the E-Safe process?
Sorry, I was typing that while doing something else, I didn't mean the "tone" to sound like that, I should have re-read it before I posted.
What I simply meant was that people wrongly assume its the nature of the file that affects the timeline, when in fact its more about the line-up itself.
No offence intended Magnus, as always you ask very good questions.
Thanks for the further clarification.
Although I wasn’t “making it out to be something it is not.”
I was curious as to why the process was taking so long and was surmising as to the facility one would suppose a fourth time waiver application would be processed.
Once again nothing in there suggests explicitly that I was “making it out to be something it’s not.” That would require me to be DEFINITIVE in my knowledge of the process. Obviously I don’t have that knowledge hence the beauty of being able to glean information on the process from this forum.
You are making the process to approve a waiver out to be something it is not.
Whether it takes 5 minutes or 5 hours to approve a waiver isn't the point. It is "how fast does the waiver get on a desk?"
Yes, once the waiver is looked at, it might be easy to say "yes", but the line-up of waivers is what defines how quickly it is sitting on a desk. I have a ton of files waiting to be "finished" by me. If you are next on my desk, your going to get DONE next. If you are #20 in my pile, then it doesn't matter if you are hard or easy, your turn is still your turn. Homeland Security works the same way. So the delay is because of the traffic jam, not how easy or hard the file is.
@Pet
Thank you for replying. I was just curious as to the seemingly long time it took to be approved.
It’s surprising that it took 74 days to be approved for such a minor charge and the fact that it’s your fourth waiver. One would think that it would just be something that would be “rubber stamped” without too much adjudication needed.

Took 74 days for approval -5 year waiver
You don't have to make an appointment. You can just show up. But you should call ahead and make sure you're showing up within the hours that the people who do biometrics are there.
When you select the port you're using to cross, using the e-safe drop-down, you should select the port where you're doing the biometrics. When it comes time to actually cross, you can use any port.
I had my Biometrics completed at Sumas crossing last week. I showed up at 1 am and had them completed within an hour. I specified on my application I would be crossing at Sweetgrass. There are no appointments for biometrics. Call the crossing and ask when they are available and just show up. There is also no requirement to have this done at the crossing you intend to use.
Thanks for that, I did figure that out last night after much searching and called in this morning to make my appointment. The E-Safe website should really make that a bit clearer to be fair. I submitted my application a couple weeks back and all it said was to "Present yourself at a port of entry within 45 days" which in my mind makes it sound like you can just show up and get it done.
Im so happy!! Receive my waiver today after 37 days! First application and 5 years waiver!
