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.

@joolsjools the universe must have heard you LOL
Great news I had my renewal approved today for 5 years.
Thank you @J Rogers for your guidance and helping to keep me sane for 11+ months by sharing your insights into the approval timelines.
June 11, and still waiting :( @joolsjools
@J Rogers is correct - not all renewals are in the “fast” line
Hi @Ana, have you had any update to the 10 June 2024 application which was added to our tracker sheet, now at 347 days? Looking at timescales, it's probably due around this time?
1 year waiver. Re-application but he had a 1 year already.
The client has a sexual assault conviction, so he has the SORNA warning on it, and that is probably why only 1 year again.
Note again that re-applications CAN be (but not always) are on a different timeline than the other waivers.

5 year waiver
Re-application. He had 5 years before.
Note he is in the "faster line" probably because its a re-application, although not all re-applications are being processed this fast.,

Yes absolutely. The waiver has to say "may be applying for an E2 dependent visa in the future".
Well since everyone is getting waivers in now that took a year, and they went to the border in May 2024..I present to you....a FORMER 5 year waiver applicant, criminal record assault in 2020 (after his 5 year waiver) , went to the border OCTOBER 23 2024. Given a 1 year waiver.
But I guess with THIS administration, this makes PERFECT SENSE.
So he had a 5, for misrepresentation from 2015-2020. Then was charged with domestic. 2020
Now has a 1 year waiver.

Well, it took exactly 366 days, I’ve heard back about my application……denied.
They say that I can appeal the decision within 30 days.
John, I emailed you earlier inquiring as to when we can meet to discuss.
Good luck to everyone else, I fear that it may be another long wait until I can enter the USA again.
