Hello,
Last year I received my file destruction and I'd like to know if I still need a waiver? I haven't been to the U.S. since the incident.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
I'm tempted to get my prints checked again. I called Peel Region Police, they told me they have nothing on my name. Should be good
Leafs I am in the same situation as you. I've been dreading crossing the border for over 10 years. Got my fingerprints "destroyed" 2 years ago.
I am grateful that John Rogers has taken time to leave free info on this forum. Thank you sir
Homeland Security knows that asking "have you ever been arrested?" casts a wider net than "do you have a criminal record" and is also effective for catching people hiding their records with a Pardon.
Your answer is always "no".
If you have NEVER been denied entry into the United States, and have removed or sealed your record, ALWAYS say "no".
The biggest controversy in this industry are people doing unnecessary waivers.
A Pardon is 100% effective UNLESS you:
-admit to having a pardon
-Have been caught before your pardon
When you get a Pardon, even our own RCMP cannot see you have a record.
Well, Leafs...it still may or may not still show up in the databases...We have seen pardoned convictions still showing up in the database. Plus CBP has other databases that they can use where they may or may not see a conviction. The big thing is what the conviction is for. An example is that if you had a simple DUI...then you would not even have to apply for a waiver and you could save your money. Ken 604 332-9213 usentrywaiverlaw.com
the whole idea is you must HIDE the record BEFORE they know about it.
Leafs, question for you is have you ever required/had a waiver before your file was destroyed.
If you are in their system then you are for life.
I had my file destroyed a year ago and still need a waiver every time I cross. Even spoke to the American Consulate and it didn't make a difference.
