Handing in Waivers -Quarantine and timelines - Post here

J Rogersposted 2 years ago

Post real application stories here. Not "A guy told me" or "a few of my clients" but specific client experiences so others can see accurately what is happening.

There are rare exceptions, but whether you file a waiver, or a waiver AND an I-212 you simply get a waiver in return. That's why I tell clients to wait. Its an extra $930USD for the exact same waiver.

Sorry, that was meant for the response below

Client #2 entered the United States illegally in 2010.

Replies (recent first):

@PAH Did you mention about H4 visa in the application?

@PAH Assumijg you are a Canadian citizen, why do you need H4 EAD. Just apply for TN when you have a job.

I will guess that H4 does not mean H4 EAD.

Received waiver on June 2nd. Submitted the waiver on Jan 17. My waiver application says ‘can apply for H4 visa’. My question is can I apply for H4-EAD as well as it doesn’t mention H4-EAD explicitly? If anyone can advise on this, it would be very helpful for me. Thank you in advance.

I received an email that there is a change in my e-safe application and have 30 days to download my ARO.
I log on to my account and don't see anything to download.
Where am I supposed to find it? Under "my forms" ????
thanks

@PAH
it looks tike the most recent waivers are coming in around 4 months plus 8-12 days.
I submitted mine at the border Jan 18th and like you I'm hoping for the next couple of days.

wishbone replied 3 days ago   #1052

I received a 5 year waiver on May 24, 23, did biometrics at the border Jan 12, 23

DainBramaged replied 3 days ago   #1051

I'm Jan 26. It would be nice to see those with January dates before mine getting through.

New Canadian replied 4 days ago   #1050

It’s been so quiet since the past week for waivers. I went to the border on Jan 17th but still waiting. Just curious to know if anyone got the waiver after Jan 11th.

PAH replied 4 days ago   #1049

Bad day for Denials. Trafficking in 2016 cocaine - 30 months.

Note the date he went to the border. The same time it is taking to process waivers that are granted. Much different than the one this morning. I am not exactly sure what this means, since it takes much more time to write out a rejection letter than just grant a waiver.

Waiver Denied.

@J Rogers oh wow. That wasn’t wise at all. But oh well. I guess they do random vehicles checks at the border. Mine wasn’t checked.

WAIVER DENIAL

Client had a 2012 Fraud, but mitigating circumstance is when he went to the border to process the waiver, he was caught with 3 joints in his car of marijuana.
Unfortunately, this seems to be the main basis of the refusal.
Below is his timeline. Notice how it is much longer than when waivers are granted. He went to the border November 17, while most waiver are now being granted by people who went to the border in January (10th)

thanks.
I went to the border Jan 18.

@wishbone

They send you an email that says "you have 30 days to download your result" and then they send out an email when there is only 10 days left.

If you miss it, you have to PAY for a replacement. Right now, January 10th people are getting their waivers. When did you go to the border? On your profile it will say "submitted to ARO" that is the official date I am talking about.

J Rogers replied 1 week ago   #1043

@J Rogers
do you get an email notification that your waiver is completed or do you have to log on your e-safe account yourself.?

wishbone replied 1 week ago   #1042

5 year waiver

Note client almost missed it. He went in December and this was the "you only have 10 days" warning. This is a multi waiver client, about 60 years old, so it hard for them to switch gears. He was literally waiting for it in the mail.

I put this up yesterday, and it got taken down. Not sure why.

1 YEAR WAIVER AND I-212

Note the I-212 was requested. We did not do them at the same time.
