Because MANY people log on here to see timelines, not discussions, lets keep THIS thread ONLY for timelines. Then people don;t have to sift through to find out how long they are taking. I was trying to amend the old one but it got deleted, so I saved the last page, and added a bit to it. My apologies if you were looking for old info. The page was getting spammed all the time and had a lot of comments on it.

As for the timeline......when the fees went up the backlog slowed these applications down. That backlog is GONE. They could get every application they have done by Thanksgiving if they want. They do NOT want then done quickly. If this seems like "why would they do that?" then you aren't paying attention. Notice Canada has tariffs for made up reasons, and we have been threatened by Annexation. Notice Russia has not a SINGLE TARIFF. Notice Trump met with Putin in Alaska and got embarrassed. And STILL his "friends" have tariffs and the Russians.....nothing.
@J Rogers by court documents do you mean transcripts or just the deposition and record of proceedings also would it be smart to give them the court documents before they ask or send them the finger prints wait and then send it or send it all together to avoid time loss?
@J Rogers yea pure pain in the ass so I’m wondering if they will be okay with the Deposition and Record of proceedings do they ask for court transcripts on top of that for discharges hopefully not also once they do request for more info.. I see they give you 88 days respond I’m hoping they respond back quicker as I sent back the info today that they asked for it’s a pain in the ass and wonder why they doing this over a conditional discharge hoping I get approved after seems likely
Very common NOW.
Discharges, or charges removed through Sequestration or Pardons they will ask for Privacy Act fingerprints, and since they are asking for that, they then ask for court documents for ANY ARRESTS.
Pain in the ass. It doesn't seem to matter if you have had waivers in the past either.
I got some bad news but it’ll be good for timelines I applied Feb 10 they opened my stuff on Feb 13 12 months later to the date and requested more info which is ridiculous but this is what it is and there asking for more info on discharges things you havnt even been charged with purely ridiculous

BE PREPARED THAT THEY ASKING FOR MORE INFO ON ALOT AND IF U HAVE A DISCHARGE THEY GONNA ASK FOR MORE FINGERPRINTS TOO ITS RIDIDCLOUS
I totally agree. I am only interested only in timelines. @J Rogers - You are doing great for all of us who have applied or is in the process of applying Waiver to provide timelines and other advices. Keep doing. We are ignoring Bots.
@JustaUser I couldn't agree more
I'm tired of these bots coming here every day
Say whatever you want against @J Rogers
I don't care, I'm here just to check timelines. Get a life people.
Who ever you are shitting here for weeks now. I am not sure whats your beef with J Rogers and honestly I don't care. You have made your point many times that J Rogers is fake and a lier.
We all have seen it many times and just tired of you pooping all over this board again and again. No one is interested in reading your BS. Everyone is old enough to decide whether to use this board or not to based on your previous poop trails.
I have no connection with J Rogers, never connected with him for any case. I am just a user who found this page a good reference on timeline and not a gospel. Please take your anger energy and make a better use of it. Get a life or mental help.
Just a User. Thank you!
1 YEAR WAIVER
This poor client.
He was granted a September Letter in 2023. His "offence" was using a fake ID to try and get a Social Security Card. They issued him a September Letter. He was born in Pakistan. He tried to use the September Letter 2 days later.
Him and 3 friends then tried to cross the border at Thousand Islands. (Near Kingston) . The officer was upset that he had been issued it, and according to my client (who by the way is a soft spoken, very nice guy) he got quite racist with the entire group. My client had his September Letter "taken away" and was told not to come back.
He called me, I sent him to the Rainbow Bridge to inquire as to his status. The officer there was very nice, but said the other officer had basically put him as denied entry on "suspicion of fraud". He told him he would have to re-apply.
He reapplied, and they then gave him a 6 month waiver.
So now, he has a 1 year waiver.
I feel really bad for this guy. His main "crime" actually seems to have been born in Pakistan. I am also seeing people born in Iran getting "short waivers" as well.

5 year waiver
-Reapplication
-The client might pursue an E2 (investment visa) in the future so of course we explained that on the application. So the "request for more information" was
basically a "do you want the waiver or not? Because you have to do the E2 Visa through the consulate". We had not TRIED to apply for the E2 but in following with lessons from the past, (TN, O, H1 visas) we had simply asked that it be mentioned on the waiver so if the client applied, they would not make them do a NEW waiver.
Anyways, this is the second time, so we will not be asking for that with E2 visa in the future. We simply responded that "yes we want the waiver" and the next day, waiver granted.
91 days - reapplication consistent with other waivers.

@J Rogers U BITCH IM GLAD I SHUT THIS BITCH DOWN LOL ur fake replies to yourself lol
I am not sure what is going on with this thread but get a life lol. Anyways, real person here! And J Rogers is not bsing
Happy to share that My 2nd waiver has been approved for 5 years. I submitted to rainbow bridge in Nov 2025. I was approved Feb 11 2026 ☺️
The people who should NOT be affected are the "border guards". The staff in Virginia that adjudicates COULD be affected yes.
First time applicants, remember, it is not VOLUME holding up the applications, its the way they are slowly adjudicating, with the reason being "enhanced vetting".
So, if there is a shut down, hopefully they will "catch up easily" since as the application numbers indicate, they do not have a ton of waivers waiting to be processed. For example, re-applications are done in a third of the time.
@J Rogers did you hear about the us government shutdown I heard it could cause delays 45 day shutdown
@J Rogers only one who’s been exposed is you u goof lmao bitch ass mother fucker now ima fuck your wife for sure
