@Tiffany

I have shoplifting clients who need a waiver, and an offence that is hybrid (meaning it can be indictable) gets a September Letter? Not to mention 3 convictions!

Again, very happy for the client, and I wish I could make this all about my skill, but I told him "your probably going to get a 1 year waiver". This is when I am happy to be wrong.

@J Rogers why doesn’t it make sense?

September Letter this one makes NO sense. Happy for the client though.

2017-Assault Causing Bodily Harm
2018-Mischief Under $5000 (2) Fail to Comply with Recognizance

No idea why he got this. He was told by the guy at the border "you don't need a waiver" and i told him...you absolutely need a waiver. I stand corrected.

@SouthernBBQ counting weekend days doesn’t make sense since government officials don’t work on weekends. You make the wait seems so much longer. Lol and you just copied and pasted information most would have already seen.

@Shellie

Great question. I DO share rejections, but they aren't as available often. Also they take much longer. Therefore, who cares how long it took, since your not actually going to the US anyways?

If you are over 100 days, they might be CONSIDERING rejecting the file. But again, you still have to patiently wait regardless.

Are these timelines shared just for approvals? If it is denied, does it have a similar timeline?

@Bobchop

On your next waiver, do a better job on the personal letter, and add a drug screen showing no drugs. 15 years ago is more than long enough to get a 5 year waiver on your first attempt. The only exception is if you had a sentence of 3 years or more.

@Bobchop congratulations!! Thanks for sharing.

FYI - One year granted for me. First time. 2 drug trafficking charges 15 years ago

@J Rogers no waivers granted these days? Are they into August yet? I’m still waiting for prints. 🤦🏾‍♀️

@Guy

If you show up with that, you will not get a waiver. File the waiver through eSAFE. You need to do the ENTIRE application. That means fingerprints, everything

I need to do my renewal for my waivers , does anybody know if I show up to border with my reference letter and employment letter is good enough or I need more paperwork? Thank you
