@ABIZ

Was there a gap? In between applications? Your application was in the "new apps line" from the look of the date. But if its your third the only reason I can think is that your waiver had expired a while ago. Please let us know.

Received a 5 Year, (my third) That took awhile.

@Arthurtherock crazy I went Feb 11 and see nothing still this shit is pissing me off

@J Rogers I see thanks for sharing your insight
But I don't think that's the case for Overstay right?

@willbill

40% of applicants get a 5 year waiver (thats appoximate) in their first application. This is down from a high of 80% under Biden. I watch the trends carefully, based on the data I have. But if you have a very old record, and its a decently done waiver, you can get a 5 year. I have September Letters which I have posted....these were all first time applicants.

fraud and thief under 5k in 2012

@Arthurtherock Wow
Never seen first time getting 5 years waiver
What was your conviction??

I had overstay waiting for an answer soon
Hopefully I get 5 year waiver as well

Yes first time applying
Took 327 days
I was at the border February 20 2025

Have you heard of any cases where once the individual has a letter they still don’t let them in?

@J Rogers im on month 12 now going on 13 still have heard nothing

@ronny5 @J Rogers

Thank you 🙏 will update

@Doink the clown

No, read it again. His lawyer when asked about MY timelines, didn't understand them, and said they were probably "untrue". I was pointing out that shows he does not know what he is doing/talking about. Go read it again.

I am getting in February's now, so February 28 should be soon. I think before the end of January 2026.

The 2018 guy, I think you waited long enough to try, if it was a solid application, you should get at least a 1 year waiver. (Mopar11) this was for you.

@Mopar11 I applied Feb ntn yet

@ronny5 how do you know the timeline I’m on my 12 month now 1st application and I havnt got jt I applied Feb 8 2025 weird

@Mopar11

You should have a pretty good ability to obtain a waiver - a waiver valid for 1 year. It will cost you $1100 for the application, paid to DHS.

You should also show evidence you've gone to rehab and clean drug test results to make your waiver case stronger.

It will take 12 months for you to get your waiver because this is your first waiver. You should most likely be getting your waiver early Feb.

@J Rogers
I was a nexus memeber I was pulled into secondary because of a vacuum seal bag in my trunk which looked suspicious and further my phone was searched and they found messages of me trying to obtain drugs so I got banned because I admitted to using drugs, no charges no criminal record, banned for life and nexus taken away, do you think I have a chance of getting approved? This was in 2018.

I have a really good job got married and bought a home among a few other things I included in my letter.

I’m a bit antsy I seen the timelines my biometrics were done February 28 2025 basically march which batch do you think I would approved in march or late February?

Thank you in advance
