Handing in Waivers -Quarantine and timelines - Post here

J Rogersposted 3 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

[ J Rogers appended this reply on April 28, 2022 @ 1:52 pm ]

Client #2 entered the United States illegally in 2010.

Sorry June 14th, not 16th.

Just got my approval today. Submitted at the Houlton Maine border on February 23 2024. Approved for 5 years on July 26th. This is my 4th and definitely most nerve-wracking. This forum has been so great with having an idea of where they are at in processing. Looks like things are moving a little faster now

@Wanderlust I don't know. I have not seen a correlation but I also am in the middle of trying to migrate hundreds of files. The March guy is a renewal.

J Rogers replied 1 day ago   #1892

@J Rogers are these all renewals?

Wanderlust replied 1 day ago   #1891

Look at this!!! We have a December, November, February and even a March 9th. All over the map right now. We have to log into EVERY file and we are even seeing people MISSING the email to notify them it is done. Be careful everyone.

I am a first time applicant, submitted on Dec 1, 2023. I am still waiting, I'll update if I hear anything, please do the same.

MarkD replied 3 days ago   #1888

My Biometrics were done Jan 9th. This will be my second waiver, the first was for one year. Hopefully will have an answer soon.

RNS replied 3 days ago   #1887

@Bob Jerkins mine was misrepresentation and was deported from the airport way back in 2008. I ll keep my status posted here if i get to hear anything

Abhi replied 3 days ago   #1886

@Abhi
I am still waiting on Nov 30th, first time applicant too. Crime was max 1 year and I served less than 6 months. So not sure wtf is going on. Pissed that others have theirs and my offence was almost 2 decades ago. I was supposed to go on a trip this week. Guess not now.

Bob Jerkins replied 3 days ago   #1885

@J Rogers which migration are you guys talking about?

Mutuba25 replied 3 days ago   #1884

@J Rogers I am a first time applicant and my submitted to ARO date is 02 January 2024. Haven’t heard anything yet . Still too early to worry? I see that there are so many January applicants already got their updates . Thanks

@Femi Afolabi All of the files being granted (like the one below) were NOT migrated. So no. Migration has NO effect on how fast it is done.

@J Rogers Do you think they are skipping applications that haven't completed the migration yet?

Femi Afolabi replied 3 days ago   #1880

@J Rogers Ah I gotcha. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate you taking the time.

Dynamic charges really then and not so much static ones. Good to know.

Skuiggles replied 4 days ago   #1879

@Skuiggles Charges that they have a different perspective on.

1. Client was convicted of anal sex. They gave him a waiver years ago, now they want proof of age of victim
2. Client had a sexual assault but did a good job of proving he was not guilty but was convicted. I got his a 1 year, then the renewal they denied him.
3. Client is suspected of overstay. I have a few clients who have had MULTIPLE waivers, but its obvious to ME they live in the USA. We still "prove" they live in Canada, but 2 now have been caught recently. One was tipped off because his wife is American and he has NEVER filed for a green card, so that made them suspicious. But he was GRANTED the waiver, then stopped when he came back to Canada for a visit and tried to travel.

J Rogers replied 4 days ago   #1878

@J Rogers if this has been asked previously, I apologize. Tried looking back quite some time.

In your experience have you seen many renewals denied? If so, what do you see as the contributing factor to renewal denials? With the exception of people falling out of the good books with more charges of course, or that of a massive lifestyle change.
