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

Client #2 entered the United States illegally in 2010.

Sorry June 14th, not 16th.

@Just me
I am also concerned for my trip next week when I couldn't access this web site this morning.
It said the server was down. I guess time will tell.

Thanks for sharing @oliver1977

@loisgh Congratulations! I know you have been waiting anxiously this entire time! So happy for you!

Ana replied 5 days ago   #2331

Just went through YYZ and they did have me go through secondary

Happy to share that after 320 days my application has been approved for one year. My case was complex. Over 18 fraud under convictions and theft under 5000. My application was initially denied 8 years ago. And one of the reasons was because I applied too soon.
Hang in there for all who are waiting. I will surely keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Well it took 405 days, over 13 months, but I finally got approved for my 3rd one-year waiver. I submitted at the border on December 8th 2023. It's hard to believe. I was starting to lose hope that it was going to happen. I am very happy that I will have this upcoming year to travel and visit friends. But honestly a little disheartened that I lost a whole year and had to cancel many plans, and still only got another one year pass. But I will take it. This was an extremely frustrating experience ( my first two waivers took 4 and 5 months) and I hope that these timelines shrink. To those still waiting hang in there.

Didn't have time to post last month but just wanted to let you know that waivers are definitely being approved out of order because look at this one!! Not sure how we got so lucky, maybe a Christmas miracle but it only took 4.5 months.

2nd time waiver, first one was 1 year and now a 5 year

@J Rogers, you were absolutely right, thank you I got 1 year waiver for 2018 misrepresentation, Do you think I stand chance to get a 2 or five year waiver next time and do we see the timelines to reduce in the coming months. thanks

Markust replied 1 week ago   #2322

@J Rogers nice to see March applications rolling in. I am curious to know if you had any insights around if applications are indeed being processed on a first come first serve basis. I submitted my application officially at the border on March 1st 2024
