If you are 367 days since your "Submitted to ARO" you might be getting a rejection letter, or maybe they are considering you for a September Letter.

What are your circumstances, I'll tell you which.

I know your a "first time applicant" , is it criminal? Or overstay/misrepresentation? Better you know whats coming.

The timelines are VERY important, BUT, there are always waivers that are slower. But there is a reason in most cases. For example your country of birth can also be a factor.

As for timelines, they are a guide. For example, Michael Jordan is 6'6". Therefore all men must be that tall? No. He is an exception.

If its February 8, why are you claiming its 367 days? I CLEARLY said they are doing February's right now, and your claiming 367 days as of yesterday, which is completely inaccurate.

February 10 would be 367 days. I am posting ACCURATE information, but I can't advise people who are inaccurate.

Just hold on, you will get an answer soon, and try to be accurate please. Other people are reading this thinking you are giving accurate information.

"It clearly says 12 months". They are not taking 12 months, they are taking about 11 months for FIRST TIME APPLICANTS ONLY. Re-applications are taking 92 days as of the last waiver i posted. So the website is wrong in BOTH counts. Its been saying "12 months" since April 2024. Even when it was 14-15 months.

I am posting ACTUAL data, not "what the website says" that is going to have said the same thing for the last 20 months. Obviously its inaccurate.

If the website hasn't been changed in over a year, that's a pretty good indication that is is a "guestimate" that isn't being updated.

You said you "had been waiting 367 days". So I said "maybe they are going to deny you"

But it turns out, you were wrong. You are going to be 367 days on February 10th. Is it February 10th? NO.

Therefore, on February 10th, my advice stands, but as you stated, its a simple waiver. Therefore, I am 90% sure you will have it before February 10th.

I think you would agree, bad information makes it hard to give accurate information. Now please, BEFORE you reply, READ the thread.

I give free advice. I am NOT a lawyer, and I have REPEATED that many times. I also know more about waivers than ANY lawyer you will find. I get calls from lawyers all the time for advice. Ken Scott is behind this.

You are obviously a fake, trying to start trouble. We run a business where we do Pardons, Waivers, Fingerprints and even Passport Photos. And I can tell who you are now. You are Ken Scott. Here is how dumb Ken Scott is everyone. He tried to tell me he had "partnered" with "On the Spot Fingerprinting" and therefore I had better "watch out". Suddenly, he announced, he had a "strategic partner, right in my "same area". I had to embarrass him and explain, that was owned by US. Same Office. He was so sloppy, he didn't even check the address. Pardon and Waiver Experts/On the Spot Fingerprinting.

Notice, Ken Scott pops up every few months, NEVER posts at normal times, because he is in Surrey United Kingdom. Not Surrey BC like he pretends. He does KNOW waivers, but pretends he "was" some sort of intelligence analyst. But he is actually a scam artist. He also refuses to use eSAFE, I assume because he refuses to learn how to use it. He is also the person trying to cast doubt on my timelines.

Thank you for wasting everyone's time. At least we know why you don't understand "common sense".

You are also Jack Tripper 187 and Jack Tripper 185.

aka Ken Scott. Now that no one trusts you, what are you even doing for a living? I know you have no formal education, so I am curious what the back-up plan was when your "deception" doesn't work. Waivers are tough right now. Far less clients, and you don;t even have an office. Start from scratch, compete on the West Coast with AllCleared who are expensive and LAZY. But you prefer shortcuts, deception and making up fake qualifications. Why?
