> Document Verification <

Bring copies of ALL documents uploaded to e-SAFE, for verification.
The receipt of Form I-192 confirmation email notes "You MUST bring the original uploaded documents submitted for verification to a designated e-SAFE port of entry".

As I uploaded a copy of my passport (for citizenship), I figured my actual passport would satisfy verification as the "original" document. Well, perhaps semantics and just silly me... no, apparently I should have had a photocopy of my passport. Thankfully, the agent went to the opposite wing of the building to make a copy. To my surprise, after verification that copy along with every other document presented was returned to me.

Application is for a 7th consecutive waiver. Reported to, at Peace Arch (Blaine) port. No fingerprints nor DNA sample taken. Except for having to begrudgingly photocopy my passport, the agent was quite courteous.
And, as others here have posted. The US agent gave me a form to present Canada Border Services indicating I did not enter the US. This addressed the current return to Canada requirement for a negative covid test. The CBSA agent did ask to see proof of vaccine.

Darn, didn't realize whatever port you enter in the application is where you need to head off to. I put down the Peace Bridge. Do I need to call them up first and arrange the appointment? Sounds like the people at Lewiston-Queenston Bridge are nicer. Hope it's the same at the Peace Bridge.

You need to go where you selected on your application.

Truthfully, I have my clients avoid Lewiston and the Peace Bridge for 2 simple reasons
- Rainbow Bridge has a much better track record for being friendly and knowing what they are doing
-Lewiston and Peace Bridge allow trucks, Rainbow Bridge does not. That means they have more time, less stress, and less traffic.

I cannot give "numbers" but I NEVER have a problem with Rainbow Bridge. I seem to get distress calls form the other 2 all the time. Avoid if possible.

@J Rogers Oh man, already paid and can't change it. I'll have to see what happens I guess. I'll let you guys know. Wish me luck. Now, I'm very afraid :(

Just call the port before you go there and ask them if they have access to your application. They will tell you.

Sorry guys, I need some help. I had submitted my form I-192, they wrote me that I needed to submit more documents which I did but after uploading the document, I did not realise I forgot to include all of them and now the system does not allow mw to submit anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
