3 year waiver

Re-application He had a 1 year waiver.

This client had a Sexual Assault. 1993 Has a pardon as well.

Its very old, and the victim is a family member. The client disputed the charge, the "assault" was touching and he fought it until the end. The Judge decided the victim was credible.
The allegation was that the client tried to kiss her, when they were in the car smoking. The Victim was 15 and related by marriage. (client was over 30) Sentence was very light. (1 year probation)

I rarely get to argue that "the client didn't do it". I have done it only a handful of times, usually for sexually based offences, and only if we can obtain evidence that BACKS UP the idea that he might be innocent. Its actually a very tough balancing act, because you still have to talk about the victim, and how this may have affected her, regardless of guilt.

I of course do not know what really happened. The evidence pointed to "not guilty" and I think the lawyer was wrong in not cross examining the victim, because then her statement was all that the judge had. Of course generally victims don't press charges or at least never get to bring their victimizers to justice. So cases like this are the exception, not the rule. I would never minimize the very REAL danger than women face.

Anyways, I mention this because I know some people are hesitant to try a waiver in cases like this, because they do not think they will be believed. With the right evidence, and the right approach, serious offences can result in a waiver.

141 days, I assume because of the serious nature of the offence, and there is also an "extra" paragraph about the fact the person is supposed to check in with law enforcement when in the US.

@willbill

Thank you for the kind words.

Overstay people generally mostly get asked for
-proof of when they left the US
-usually proof of landing in Canada or at least when they arrived.

Overstay is actually not that complicated if you say the right things. Also if you overstayed for 5 years, (for example) the application is easier when its been at least 5 years since. Not a hard rule. I did have that client recently who got a September Letter. She overstayed 45 days and waited 3 years to apply. (I made her wait, she wanted to apply right away)

If you get asked, you will have 87 days to respond, and I am here to help.

@Brian Sakask

Oh Brian. I said Republicans are criminals and pedophiles. And I think I mentioned you have a Kash Patel poster on your wall. Canada is LESS harsh on crime, and I will argue, that is a good thing. It leads to LESS crime.

Nice articles, they seem sad and random though. Canada is much more lenient on crime actually (sentence wise) and we take a rehabilitative approach. The US does not, because it MAKES A PROFIT on crime, they have "for profit jails" where ICE is warehousing people and the American Taxpayer is paying for it. So they are "harsher" because that makes the private jail more profit, and makes dumb people feel "safer".

In Canada, if you have money you do much better in our system than a average/poor person does, but our main philosophy is leniency (if possible) and the thought that given time, most young people will mature and be less likely to commit crimes.

Technically, crime is a result of poverty, or greed. Countries with more poverty, have more crime. Studies were done where high IQ children were followed until adulthood. The ones who were growing up in poverty RARELY fulfilled their potential. Higher income homes RARELY failed to reach success.

In Canada, we have less poverty (less wealth too) and less crime. We are more lenient on crime, and we have pardons ANYONE can apply for. Trump gives out pardons to people who give him money.

I should mention, that victims of crime probably never feel like justice has been done. But the problem is, what do we want? If we make victims feel better through harsh sentences, over time we will have more crime. If we are more lenient, we will have less crime, but victims feel like they get victimized again.

I bet in this forum, we have people with criminal records. But they probably do not feel like they are "bad people". They are regular people, who made bad decisions. Over time, I think we are better served to get them back into society, and rehabilitate. Obviously, not the people who dedicate their lives to crime.

Just my opinion.

@J Rogers you’re awesome!
Truly making a difference. I don’t care about this troll trying to make a case. it says more about who he is than anything about you, Roger. I appreciate your support.

My application is June regarding the overstay, and I’m a bit concerned about being asked for additional documentation. When I’ve submitted my application, I’ve attached 20 letters of reference, along with details about my work and financial situation.

It’s been six years since I left the U.S. I was turned back last year, but I’m hoping for a positive outcome this time

@J Rogers John Rogers saying Canada is tougher on crime than USA should tell you everything you need to know about him and really should disqualify him from ever being listened to again.

@willbill

Great question!

If you have a pardon, standard requests might be
-Privacy Act fingerprints
-Court documents
-Court Transcripts
-Additional explanations in writing

No Pardon
-court docs
-transcripts
-They may ask you to visit a panel doctor
-Privacy Act fingerprints.

If you do not have a criminal record
-Proof you left the US
-Proof of residence in some other country
-Police Certificates from other places you might have lived

Other things they might ask for are
-Request to file an additional I-212
-any other documents they might need to finish your application

The problem with getting this request is the timeline. You only get 87 days IN EVERY CASE

Part of the problem is identifying WHY they are asking. For example.

When you are denied entry (90% of people start a waiver because of this) Your record might be "different" then when you apply. I'll explain.

When people get certain convictions, like Possession of Narcotics, or a Conditional Discharge or even Youth Convictions, OR even certain convictions like "indecent act". unless there is ACTION by the person, the record might STILL be visible on CPIC.

For example, lets say "Steve" has the following record. (all are over 5 years old)
-Youth - Theft Under
-Adult - Indecent Act (he was caught at a bathhouse with Barry)
-Adult Assault (conditional Discharge)

He lives his life, never gets fingerprinted. He tried to go to a Buffalo Bills game, Homeland Security sees the record, they deny him entry.

Steve is distraught, but hears about this "Waiver guy" his friend brags "is the best!" LOL Steve is skeptical, because his friend is a bit of a dumbass, but he comes to see me.

Based on our conversation, (the client is vague) I tell Steve he seems to have a great chance at a waiver. We fingerprint him and start the process.

When is prints come back....no record!

-Narcotics, gone because of sequestration
-assault, gone because 3 years have passed
-Indecent Act, removed because we stopped criminalizing the LBGTQ community.
-When the 3 other ADULT records were removed, the Youth Record then was ALSO removed, because it was only there because of the adult record.

When the prints come back, Steve thinks he is "home free". No. We now STILL need to do the waiver, explain why the record in blank, and do Privacy Act AND obtain court documents as well.

I usually give the client the option of SUBMITTING the application without all the court docs, and then when Homeland Security ASKS for them, I would have received them from the courts. (they can be very slow) Or we can wait and submit everything together. This is a way of using all the time it takes for them to SEE the file, and if it works, the client would have "gotten in line" right away.

For this client, we would still do a drug test/Dr's letter and the personal letter would be detailed. If he had a gun prohibition (even if its expired) explain WHY it was put in place. The US considers this a "serious" penalty, because they don't understand that in CIVILISED countries, we worship healthcare, not guns.

The is probably why Pedophiles in Canada go to jail, and in the United States, they become Republicans, and if they are corrupt enough, PRESIDENT!

Anyways, let me stop pointing out the TRUTH, and talk about waivers. I mean, WE are all Canadians here, so we understand the difference.

Please feel free to comment, or ask more questions.

@J Rogers what kind information they usually ask for first time waiver application when they request for more info?

@J Rogers what I say u little bitch?

1 YEAR WAIVER

FIRST WAIVER

340 days from "Submitted" to "request for more information". So 340-345 days seems to be a common time period for first time waivers. Re-apps are still 86-97 days.

Client told me he has a simple "Aggravated assault" but in fact, the transcripts showed a much more serious "assault". He had a 6.5 year sentence.

So what is weird, is they also asked him for a I-212. But because he was not in Canada at the time, we had no way to file it and also, because his waiver had been filed so long ago, he needed new fingerprints. So we decided to give them what they wanted (we need it for future waiver anyways) and just not file the I-212. Why? Once I read the transcripts, I realized this assault was VERY serious and the personal letter I submitted was not an accurate representation of what happened.

So we submitted everything well before the deadline, but no I-212.

On March 17 2026 they wrote a letter (form letter) that says "we asked you for xyz, you did not respond, we are closing your file". We expected that.

But they didn't email him or PUT the letter in his profile until April 20 2026 --33 days later. So even if he WANTED to "re-open" the file, he would have been too late, because the letter is dated 33 days before they sent it to him, and it only allows you to "re-open" the file 30 days after.

Anyways, I have never seen this before.

@J Rogers Thank you so much for sharing these!

@ J Rogers shut up bitch u and Ken Scott are both dumb faggots all lawyers laugh you morons
