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.

And yes, I’m on day 96 and waiting for my 5th waiver.
Hope you deem that acceptable Karen, er, Marsha

@Sal56 you have anything useful to add? Your response sounds so ridiculous on a post that’s meant to help applicants and waiver hopefuls.

Marsha replied 2 years ago   #299

Anyone have any updates on processed waivers and associated timelines? Maybe these gibronis are actually back to work and approaching some basic level of efficiency (have you ever actually spoken to a border agent? Intelligence/ refinement are not their trademark characteristics, most are embarrassing in the way they carry themselves)

Sal56 replied 2 years ago   #298

@Flyer Sierra Thanks for the response. That is really awesome to hear that you continuously got 5 year waivers.

This client got a 5 year waiver August 3rd but missed the email. They got the 10 day warning. So this is not "recent" as well, they asked for further documentation. 2006 and 2010 Theft unders.

All I can say is Yay!!!! I know it's wishful thinking but if the pattern holds my GF might have her waiver a week from Friday. *Fingers crossed It was submitted to ARO on June 3rd

JohnB2 replied 2 years ago   #285

MY LAST 6 WAIVERS. Last one was today, overstay "overstayed for 11 days in 2016" first time waiver. 89 days. She lives in Halifax.

Look at the trend here. 1 5year , 1 September letter, 4 -1 year waivers, all first time applicants (the 1 year waivers) I am not sure if this is a trend, or anomaly.

5 YEAR WAIVER

@Tiffany

Yes total days, even if the waiver obviously is not going to arrive on a Saturday or Sunday.

May 10-August 18 for example. 3 months and 8 days.

The real issue is the fact that everyone it trying to compare because you feel so helpless. I have clients that are over 100 days....it doesn't matter if it "should be" here...it isn't. But us Canadians also like to complain about the weather, which is also out of our control, so I understand the waiting is frustrating.

An answer will come.

J Rogers replied 2 years ago   #283

@J Rogers when you calculate the days, is it - the weekend days?

Tiffany replied 2 years ago   #282

1 year waiver - Truck driver. Looks like 98 days?
No criminal record. Entered the United States on a fake passport in 2007-tried to get asylum. Left in 2009
First waiver. I do a LOT of waivers like this, because being in Brampton obviously a lot of South Asian residents fled Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India.
He actually got this is on Thursday, not today, but didn't notice the email until the weekend.
