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.
@SteelMan Technically there should be no difference. My clients application are filed with me as "preparer" but they get all the emails which I prefer. With a Lawyer you are I assume depending on THEM to monitor the emails, which I don't like.
I have said it before, Waiver are a "sideline" for most lawyers. For a business like mine, its ALL I do, all day every day. (I have other staff that handle pardons and assist me.)

Was it a 212 form ?

@j rogers. Thanks for that advice. Will do that when it is up.
Not all waivers are granted. Serious drug record unfortunately denied.

@Hot Shot Some people will not have to do waivers after their bar is finished. Sometimes they even give waivers that end on this date. I have a client who was given a 4 year waiver which corresponds exactly to the end of his bar.
But some people also get surprised because one officer told them they would not need a waiver when their bar is up, then they try and travel and are denied. When your bar is up, its smart to go to a border and ASK. Tell them you are not there to cross. If they tell you "yes you can travel" then get their name and a card or something. PROOF.
@Danielle oliver, i heard about that too, some lifetime bars has limited years for Canadians right?
@just me…I was told after March of 2025 I won’t need a waiver as my bar will be up
@Danielle oliver "last waiver I will need to do"??? Are you giving up on going to US :-)
I didn’t do it through e safe. I had someone do the paperwork and I turned it in person to the border. So I have no way of seeing where it’s at. I will receive my answer in the mail. That’s how I did it in July of 2022 and I had my response in August of 2022. This is my second and last waiver I will need to do.
@Just me do u have clients waiting since march April and may ?
@Danielle oliver e-safe drop in? Did you do it yourself or via lawyer?
seems late since people from June 29 getting theirs..
I haven’t gotten mine yet…I turned it in in person June 9th
@J Rogers do u have clients still waiting from March April or may and if so can u possibly post timelines if thats ok ?
@J Rogers Yeah they are the only ones with access to the e-safe login, but i do get emails i got emails all the way up to that it was submitted to ARO. I just asked for a screen shot of the time line from inside esafe. the last time i a screen shot a few months ago the last line was Status changed to Submitted to ARO
