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.

I have another client with a Sexual assault. He was given 3 - 1 year waivers.
Today on his re-application, they suddenly started asking for FURTHER documentation INCLUDING privacy act fingerprints and court documents, including police reports and transcripts.

This is just a reminder, when you do your waiver, they DO look at each waiver as a "new" waiver, even if it has been a while. Don't do a half assed job. In the case of this client, I guess he got tired of paying me, (I give a discount for re-applications) and he decided to just take all the "old" stuff and do it himself. He changed NOTHING, which I NEVER do. I change it EVERY time.

Anyways, now he is begging me to help him, and I will, but had he just let me do it again, we probably (we can't know for sure) wouldn't now be stuck.

Your timeline is almost the same as mine, 106-111 days, around 3.5 months. I’ve noticed a trend of 3-4 months for a lot of renewals lately.👍

@Fifi5
Thanks for your update, hope things keep moving!

Lk replied 2 months ago   #2067

I thought I would post our timeline, this forum gave me a pretty good idea of when to expect my waiver. Mine was a re-application, second waiver. First one was in 2019 for 5 years. (Took only 40 days first time). Re-applied again via E-safe on May 20, went to the border June 5. Got 2nd 5 year waiver Sep 22. Good luck to everyone, things seem to be speeding up again.

Fifi5 replied 2 months ago   #2066

@The CHI the wait is sooo overwhelming. Been waiting since March 2024 but good news is coming.

Job222628 replied 2 months ago   #2065

@J Rogers As well why some people get a completion must faster after submitting their request for more information response. I submitted my response in July and still waiting whereas this one took less than a week after the response was submitted. I don't get it

*Much

The CHI replied 2 months ago   #2064

@J Rogers What was the applicant's case? Just trying to figure out why some first timers get 1 year and some others 5 year

The CHI replied 2 months ago   #2063

Almost 12 months- applied Oct 5th 2023 and no additional Docs have been asked. i hope it's not a denial and matter of waiting time with 12 months waiting period.

@J Rogers hey I’ve noticed a substantial slow down over the last 2 weeks. Am I accurate In thinking that ? Especially since you mentioned that hundreds of people applied for waivers with you ahead of the April 1 price increase ?

AppliedJuly22 replied 3 months ago   #2055

@Sophia A Pardon should not impact whether or not you need a waiver. If you already did a waiver, then a pardon will absolutely not make much of a difference.
