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.

@J Rogers I assume all these are renewal?

5 year waiver - They went to the border on MAY 15 !!!

Whats interesting about ALL of these waivers is they "JUST" beat the deadline when the fee went up. So they are all granted around the same time and all were PAID around the same time. But ONE went to the border on May 15th. The rest went April 11 or 12. Get ready for a LOT of waiver, I did hundreds around this time to beat the deadline.

@J Rogers It seems like the waiver approvals really have slowed down this past week? Only really seeing 1-2 approvals a day now at most. Have you noticed that?

@Calyssa When you get within 2 weeks of the trip, call me and I can give you some info on doing a possible Port Parole. They might do it for that, although technically its not an emergency.

J Rogers replied 4 months ago   #1976

@J Rogers thanks so much for your response I really appreciate you taking the time to
Address my hysteria lol I’ve honestly been letting this control my every thought because all I want to do is take my boys to Disney and feel so guilty I am the reason we can’t go next month now :(
I’m gonna take your advice and just try to be patient and calm because you are the expert and I so appreciate this form and all the information and insight you give to all of us
You are very appreciated !!!
Thanks again !!!

Calyssa replied 4 months ago   #1975

@Calyssa Despite your frustration, if you do another application, you will be paying for nothing. They don't "miss" applications. Obviously some staff are grabbing files a bit out of order. But I have a client who has been waiting 3 years. You are letting the fact that other waivers are granted ahead of you "get to you" and you are forgetting the fact that having this information isn't supposed to make you make bad decisions.

Just be patient, wait it out. It will come. More importantly, it is OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. Keep an eye on it, and one day it will appear. There are MANY files like your file, I have waivers that are still pending all the way back to October. Relax.

The problem with this site is everyone panics. I almost didn't post the one that was granted from May because of course I have to take 30 phone calls from panicked people, most of who are NOT EVEN MY CLIENTS. I don't put this information up to panic people, its to give you more information. Knowledge is power, but in 2024 apparently some people can't handle the lack of control.

I am the one who would tell you if you "have a problem". You don't. Stay calm.
