@Colorado2806 No, 3rd. waiver
But I do have good news. It has arrived today.
After waiting for 8 months and 1 day. 5 year waiver
Wohoo, going to Florida. FINALLY.

@TomTom is it your first time applying for a waiver ?

I think I have lost hope...still no luck. 8 months and not a peep???
Like I said before, under staffed. Migrants coming over the border.
Too much of a workload. Also, they don"t care if you are not getting
into the USA. This service only took 2-3 months todo in the past.
You tell me??? I think its easier to join the migrants, at least I would get in Quicker....
You agree?

Just wanted to let everyone know that it....
Finally has arrived.

Patients everyone, it will come.

but it finally got here, Going to Florida.

For a 5 year renewal....

Hi ! What do you mean by the full 40 days after ? Thank you

@H You should re-apply right before the deadline and then go to the border the full 40 days after. You hopefully get a longer waiver.

Hi all. I got my first 1 yr waiver today (went to ARO on July 14th). Just want to thank everyone on here and John Rogers for keeping me sane.

Given that the fee increase is on April 1st, would it make sense to immediately reapply or would it be too late now?

Great forum! This is my 3rd or 4th 5 year waiver. I did it myself and submitted at Lewiston. Best of luck.

submit at the lewiston queenston bridge

@Colorado2806 J Rogers answered correctly and no I never emailed after I submitted, we just wait patiently and watch on this sight how long the waivers are taking.

@Colorado2806

I can answer these questions.
-The email doesn't matter. Your waiver isn't "going to be forgotten" because you didn't email them. The email was just in case it was lost in the mail. Now you can log in and check so its really a waste of time.
-They only ask a small % of people for more information or documents.
-You need 2 reference letters and 1 letter explaining what happened and showing contrition. That SHOULD have been submitted up front.
-Each person gets an email to indicate they should log in and check their eSAFE account. They get one the minute it is granted (if its granted) and another 20 days later.

Hi ! I was just wondering, in the 8 months you did wait , did you ever emailed them to ask them when they think you going to receive your waiver ? Like did you ever needed to remind them that you was waiting for your waiver or you never send them email and you just received your waiver like that ?

Also did they send you an email prior to give you , your waiver to ask you more infos about your case , like your job or your 3 letters or any infos they needed ?

And last question did they send you an email to let you know that your waiver was accepted or you found out yourself when you went to the website?

Thank you so much

@The CHI @The CHI sorry Your right, it was a slip of the finger! 8 months to the day!

@TomTom

[ TomTom appended this reply on March 8, 2024 @ 3:23 pm ]

Still waiting here, no luck.
232 days....this is too much. whats going on????
Never had to wait this long for some paperwork...
They need to give out 10 year entry, this is one problem they are facing.
All the 1-3 year entry are getting renewed and new applications at he same time as you are.
Plus all the migrants coming over the Mexican boarder, is fowling things up...
