I do not know why this topic suddenly appeared on our email feed today since it seems to be 3 months old. Nevertheless, hopefully, you obtained the information that you were seeking. In simple terms please note that not every offence even requires a us entry waiver and only relevant files regarding an inadmissible offence are only needed as per court records. An example is that you do not need a DUI court file if you have a DUI conviction and a Trafficking conviction. You raised a question about lawyers and I want to say that lawyers do indeed have their place and SHOULD provide accurate advice. Obviously not all lawyers do and you really need to hire someone that has proven knowledge and an established reputation in the industry.

I welcome any questions. I am in the office infrequently, but you can reach me anytime, 905-459-9669. you can also text our text line, 647-533-9669.

My personal cell is 416-843-1371.

I would suggest if its a question that you would think other can benefit from, that even if we talk on the phone, you also post the information here so others can also benefit.

@LM99A no I am not a lawyer, which is why you are getting accurate advice. If I was, you would have paid $$ before I said anything, and then you would have learned too late I was making it up as I went along. I am a waiver expert. A Lawyer is the opposite of that.

@J Rogers sorry are you Lawyer?

@LMM9A no, you don't just fill out the forms, you do the entire list of requirements. When the border is open, which will not be until at least May 4 2020, if then.

See past threads for list of requirements. And feel free to ask any questions, we have time. LOL

Well in BC the guards will turn away a packet if the court documents are not included. I cannot speak for the Ontario borders but I know for a fact

that they will not accept the packet unless court documents are included. At our borders, they make the client sit down and the guards will go through every

section of the packet. They have had clients call me for clarification if they saw something that was unclear. So again I cannot speak for other borders but the

ones in BC will not go for this lack of court documents issue.

I will say around 2005 to 2006, they did not seem to care as much about court files but that was a long time ago. I do not know what kind of cases you get but

our cases definitely have to have court documents since we get a lot of serious criminality waiver cases. There is no way CBP will accept a waiver packet from

a person that has serious criminality and no court documents included.

Again, I am only speaking on BC borders and mostly the serious criminality cases. I think we can incorporate this topic in our us waiver less complex case

seminars now since we are hosting them to help people in regards to border-crossing issues.

@Lmm94a..unfortunately borders around Saskatchewan and Alberta require court documents..no exceptions..

Thank you, so I just fill out the wavier form and hope I get across the border? I will review Michelle's comments.

I rarely get court documents for clients for the initial waiver. I do send away for them anyways, just in case, but statistically I find 19 out of 20 times they are never asked for.

Now remember, the Ontario borders take the waivers with/without court documents. Some borders may NOT do this, as Michelle has pointed out in the past.
