@doal

Do you mean the word "pending"?

It takes around 7 months for an answer. I assume he told you this before you started?

Hi all.. iused a lawyer to get this done by e-safe .. been 65 days and it says pending.. does anyone know what that means???

[ doal appended this reply on February 27, 2024 @ 7:40 am ]

since he applied i don't have the e-safe

1. to go lok into the case.. ARO said i could look anytime but with this

@Samson36478589888 Yeah my lawyer said 90 percent of his clients have been waiting 10 months so far

@JibberDan im approaching 11 months wait in couple days

@JibberDan considering they are approving pasts that date it’s possible it’s gone to a supervisor

Still waiting from the second week of june, 8+ months waiting

@Gord if u submitted on July 4 thats the day u count from

@TomTom it’s crazy! Before Covid it was 3 months on the American side! Mine took 18 months on the Canadian side because of Barrie courts. Montreal came in after 3 months. It rediculous! Let hope things get moving along again. I’ve been waiting almost 26 months for this process to finish. I was told 7 months when I started! lol what a joke.

@TomTom Who are you getting your information from? Its not accurate.

@Gord this is crazy!!!! I'm hearing now 8-12 months wait time. I'm now 7 month waiting and still no feed back.
i"m hearing that they are low staffed, and the migrents coming over the mexican boarder is keeping them occupied.
hope and pray to get it soon. TomTom

TomTom

Applied for 3rd waiver on July 20/2023 at the Lewiston bridge crossing.
still waiting for the 5year I-94 to come in. Tried to follow up with their office,
but no response. Still waiting...…I'm at 198 days (6-1/2months)
My guy that put the waiver together, has told me they are seeing 200-220 day time frame.
will update, once received.
I also would like to say that this Forum is great. Thank you for doing this. As I feel I'm left in the dark with no response from the US CBP people.

still waiting.....7 months now.
it use to be 4-5months. this is so upsetting.
left in the dark......

@Jp2019 No idea why this one took a little longer (I wondered the same) and no additional information or documentation requested. You should receive yours any day now; fingers crossed and let us know when you do.

@J
I am also waiting for my first time waiver
My submission was also 6 june 2023
Do you know why they are taking little longer?
Kind a impatient now, and worried.saw your approved message today.
Did they ask for more information?

Appreciate your help
