@j roger thank you for your input. I knew Trump’s administration would affect waiver processing. Let’s hope it won’t get delayed too much at least.

@Appliedjuly30 I am more amazed that he has 3 1 year waivers and never got anything longer. Biden btw was FAR more "generous" with Waivers, as was Obama than Trump. Its not even close. Even now, we are getting 1 year waivers turned into 2 year waivers, instead of 5 year waivers. Under Biden I bet I had less than 5 2 year waivers in 4 years and RARELY ever 2 consecutive 1 year waivers.

Now? Way less "generous" and I bet September Letters stop completely too.

Not to get political, but Donald Trump is not only inept, but he is OBVIOUSLY (watch the shouting match today with the PM of Ukraine) a Russian sympathiser/plant/spy working for Putin. Its SO obvious. What a joke.

Waiver wise, I go by the results. Democrats for whatever reason seem to give longer waivers. I am not sure why. That being said, Trump ONLY appoints idiots, so of course that might be a factor. I have never seen anything like this. Thank god in Canada the lowest we go is Doug Ford.

@J Rogers looks like it was three 1-year waivers. And his 4th one was the 5-year. Not to get too political but the three consecutive 1-years were under Biden/harris and his 5-year came under Trump. So for those fear mongering (a lot of you) there’s that at least.

Denial. Serious conviction with an 8 year sentence. Homeland Security stated 3.5 years after the sentence was an "instant" application.
I had explained I thought this was at best "50/50" and the ceiling was maybe a 1 year waiver, but he wanted to try anyways.

My instructions are to wait until a full 5 years have passed AFTER the sentence before trying again. Again, with longer sentences, the wait time has to reflect a certain amount of time after the sentence. This is obviously not an exact science.

@GB wow! 4 waivers, all for 1 year? I have never seen that before.

@appliedjuly30

[ GB appended this reply on February 27, 2025 @ 6:37 pm ]

5 year, this is my 4th waiver. All previous ones were 1 years

2 year waiver

She had a 1 year waiver and overstayed from 2014-2016. So this is better, but I am seeing way more 2 year waivers than usual.

Thank you, @J Rogers

They Deep State is trying to throw us off their trail and keeping us guessing ;)

3 waivers, all granted yesterday,. all for 1 year. All went to the border on April 12th. Pretty consistent message right?

Here is another. August 29th????? 5 year waiver.
Re-application.

The ones yesterday (to answer the question Ana) were all first time waivers. I am seeing MORE first time applicants getting 1 year waivers than ever before, BUT its not everyone.

Thank you @J Rogers

I don’t think that idiot’s comments warranted a response though everything you said was spot on! Thank you so much for articulating exactly what was in my head.

1 year waiver.

I should say "politically" I look for 3 things.
-Which party/leader helps my clients the most (pardon side more than waiver)
-Which party is progressive, shows compassion and helps the vulnerable
-Which party can beat the party that would hurt the most people.

In many ways, the NDP is the ideal party, but they never win an election. Therefore I vote/promote the next best thing

Its incredible to me that in 2025 anyone would vote for a party that CLEARLY is funded by big oil and actually promotes racism and agrees with Trump on many issues. Of course, everyone has the right to vote for what they think is best. But voting to take away from the poor, weaken workers and women's rights, and voting for a party that seems to revel in being "mean spirited" shows the character of a lot of people.

Promoting others less fortunate makes you a GOOD person. If you literally revel in not being a "good person" then why are you here?

2000% could not agree more with @YoundAndDumb

Go away, @Libtard

Who cares what John thinks about Trudeau!?

It’s irrelevant to the caliber and quality of his expertise and services offered in this space.
