@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. ****
