Handing in Waivers -Quarantine and timelines - Post here

J Rogersposted 2 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.

Got mine this morning
First time waiver, 5 years. Did the application myself.
My convictions were from over 20 years ago.

Sometimes nice things happen to nice people. This lady wanted to go to the Super Bowl and her fight leaves tonight. She was on pins and needles for the last 3 weeks as we couldn't tell if she would get the waiver in time.

As you can see, 630 AM today. We are all so happy for her.

The first 2 are mine. The bottom one is a person from the forum who didn't want to post. I will put the details they gave me on top of that one.

@J Rogers From months to days? Wow, does it depend on case?

happyfeet replied 2 months ago   #1440

Generally its a couple of months once you provide the information they request but I have had waiver literally granted days after as well.

J Rogers replied 2 months ago   #1439

@J Rogers is it a couple days or months when it is request for more info because I have been delayed i think 2 months im still waiting for a response from them

Samson36478589888 replied 2 months ago   #1438

@Hotshot

I have a client that was sent a "request for more information" and he went to the border June 22.

So it will skip ahead a couple of days here and there as well. I am always pretty consistent so its hard to tell which months are busiest because logically there are 3 types of waiver.
1. New waivers which correspond to people being stopped
2. Waiver renewals
3. Immigration waivers which follow closely with #1

I bet a lot of people are denied in the summer, and December. I don't know exactly the stats on the busiest months for travel to the US but not everyone does a waiver right after they are stopped either.

Especially my white male clients. They are never stopped for ANYTHING so it takes them a while to get over the fact that they actually aren't WANTED. Usually a few months or years have to pass first. Even then they usually apply reluctantly.

@J Rogers
So the processing days are increasing still eh, 7 months and 2 weeks.

Hotshot replied 2 months ago   #1436

Husband and wife so they went to the border together.
