TIMELINES FOR WAIVERS ONLY.

J Rogersposted 1 year ago

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.

sorry everyone, my mistake, this is his FIRST waiver. Not a re-application.

Her first application. She was in Canada for most of her life, over 65. Never got Citizenship. Travelled often to the US.

She overstayed 43 days. Went and got her citizenship, waited 2 years before applying. We specifically WAITED until after 2 years before trying. (2 years since being turned back)

I think this is a fair result, as we stated, lost track of the days, took responsibility. I was hoping for this, but very HAPPY she can continue travelling.

@J Rogers Hi J Rogers, how can I get a hold of you? I'd like to see if you can help me with something waiver related.

Here is mine got it this week: 5 year reapplication - applied Dec 02 and received yesterday March 26. So to add in another point of data - renewals are taking approximately 3-4 months.

1 year waiver

First waiver.

Note that they asked for more information. When we replied, they granted the waiver 41 minutes later. I always follow up a couple of days later, even if the client doesn't see an email (they didn't in this case) and in this case I was surprised to see a response in less than an hour.

2015 (1) IDENTITY THEFT (2) IDENTITY THEFT

This is what some of you might find interesting. This client had a 28K restitution. Paid only $200 on it. And Homeland Security ASKED about "payment of restitution, or explain why you have not paid it".

I noticed on the court documents, that they gave her 15 years to pay it. But when I responded, although I did mention it, I had to explain that she had INTENTION to pay it, had paid a bit, but she was working on paying it. I wasn't sure how they would respond, but they did give her the waiver.

@Idiots together

Thank you for the prompt and the falsehoods. Gave me a chance to once again warn everyone about Ken Scott. Now you can stop pretending you are a waiver client.

J Rogers replied 2 days ago   #611

@Idiots together (obviously Ken Scotts friend I was talking about)

And see everyone? Ken Scotts little buddy was asking BULLSHIT questions, because Ken Scott DOESN'T know that when you have a pardon (or sequestration) Homeland Security USUALLY asks for Privacy Act.

This should be explained to EVERY client, and they be given the OPTION to do Privacy Act fingerprints BEFORE the waiver is submitted.

If a company cannot fingerprint (Not accredited by the RCMP) do not use them. First of all, anyone with a REAL office fingerprints. Why wouldn't you? Yesterday we had 10 sets of fingerprints throughout the day that were not pardon or waiver related. That's 10 people who PAID us just for fingerprints.

1. Ken Scott does not have an office. He uses a business center. (he rents an office hourly when he needs it) During covid he claimed to be in Canada and was doing videos from Surrey....but it was Surrey UK. The location CLEARLY showed that. He is not a Canadian.

2. Ken himself states he will not use Esafe. (he has posted in this VERY forum that eSAFE is not better) That's how I knew this was probably a problem timewise because of that. When you do not use Esafe, they have to MAIL you a request for the Privacy Act fingerprints. But they STILL only give you 87 days. This guy in panicking because it probably took 7-8 days for the letter to arrive from Virginia to British Colombia, and now by the time he got ahold of Ken (probably in the UK) now the panic sets in because the fingerprints are getting close to the 87 days.

3. With Esafe, he would have had that request THE SAME DAY. Then 87 days is NOT a problem unless it is lost in the mail. Also, this person NEEDS to go someplace OTHER than Ken who cannot fingerprint, and on top of THAT delay, the RCMP has to mail it all the way to BC from Ottawa.

Lesson?
-Use someone you KNOW is reliable.
-Make sure they fingerprint. They then are checked out, and they have something to lose if they don't live up to what they agreed to do
-Make sure they explain WHY they think you will GET a waiver, or at least what LENGTH of waiver. I can draw upon a high volume of recent waivers to justify my predictions
-Don't use a lawyer. Use a lawyer for things you NEED a lawyer for. Use a Waiver Expert for waivers. But I also cannot draw up a will or defend you in court.

**If someone claims "I used to work at this________, so therefore I am good at waivers, well, DID they actually do that? Ken Scott claims he worked at all types of places and is a borderline ninja. But he is really middle aged guy from the UK, NEVER went to University or had a job with the US government, but he can CLAIM anything. Ken used to KNOW Waiver because he DID waivers. Now no one uses him, and he is out of the loop. ****

J Rogers replied 2 days ago   #610

@J Rogers well that’s not true because I met him in Surrey bc at his office so that doesn’t really make sense what u said there haha nor did u answer my question u just got dick hard over another person I’ve actually met 3-4 times at that same office so that’s a for sure lLIE he also told me ur 4 feet tall and u not a LAWYER AND HE ACTUALLY IS and said u work for ur wife’s fingerprinting shop that’s crazy both of u are idiots tbh lol

@Bindyyy joall

Ken Scott has been talked about here on the forum at length. Its his friend making all the negative comments. (under many names)

Ken Scott SHOULD have known, except for 2 things. 1. No one uses him anymore, because he doesn't even live in Canada. 2. He refuses to do waivers (I assume its still true) through eSAFE. Which slows EVERYTHING down.

Did he use Esafe? I assume you did this all online? He doesn't have an actual office, just a mailbox and a business center he uses for people who insist on meeting.

J Rogers replied 3 days ago   #608

@J Rogers agreed but I don’t think it’s coming in time as they said processing and that’s it that’s all they say I think I’m gona fail my whole stuff by this but I still got about 2 weeks so I don’t know what’s goin on but rcmp aren’t working fast that’s for sure it’s slower the ever

[ Bindyyy joall appended this reply on March 26, 2026 @ 10:46 am ]

Ps there’s a lawyer named Ken Scott who did mine he’s a moron did it 1935 way so slow and didn’t advice me t get privacy act fingerprints flier just wanted my time none the less I can’t do nothing about going to him now I can only pray my privacy act prints come back before deadline they sent me the rfe Feb 13 I got it like 12 days after my days start from the day on the letter obv right since he didn’t e file im dealing with mail so yea prolly a forced fail shits diabolical

Bindyyy joall replied 3 days ago   #607

Privacy Act fingerprints

If they say they have not mailed it out, then that better than "you should have had it" and its lost in the mail. Plenty of time still. I know that 87 days is short, but again, this is why you do your best to anticipate this before you apply. Once they mail it out, regular mail is less than a week.

Anyone who has a record, if you get a pardon or anything is missing because of Sequestration or discharges that have been removed, the US asks for Privacy Act fingerprints. So these people need the regular prints, and privacy act when they do their fingerprints.

J Rogers replied 3 days ago   #606

Has anyone crossed border (with waiver) by land? Which one (land or air) is of less hassle w.r.t length/depth of secondary inspection?

I have crossed the border twice by air only and contemplating to cross by land (Ambassador Bridge @Windsor) as it is much cheaper.

@Howie Dawson that’s insane me too

Jorge Diaz replied 4 days ago   #604

@J Rogers I’m in similar situation of 47 days I call and they say the same thing aswell

[ Howie Dawson appended this reply on March 25, 2026 @ 9:53 pm ]

Then giving 87 days when the stuff could take 121 is diabolical…

Howie Dawson replied 4 days ago   #603

@J Rogers I have the say the same thing in processing nothing else

Bindyy johall replied 4 days ago   #602

@Bindyy Johal

Call the RCMP. Remember, they have to be mailed directly to YOU.

613-998-6362
ccrtis-scictr@rcmp-grc.gc.ca

You will need your DCN# when you call.

J Rogers replied 4 days ago   #601

@J Rogers I’ve waited 65 days no fingerprints …

[ Bindyy Johal appended this reply on March 25, 2026 @ 6:19 pm ]

I know will probably miss my 87 day RFE which is RIDICULOUS

Bindyy Johal replied 4 days ago   #600

@J Rogers Thanks for your information.
