@1849, Factsharing, that is great..and so quick...As John has asked, please provide us more information. How long is waiver for? Thanks!

@1842, Bombazinga1...Well, speaking of getting a good laugh from reading the comments; you are so over the top on your wanting attention, that it is quite funny really... I actually think your alias is quite clever, it says a lot about you...You like to drop in and forcefully, dictate your opinions on everyone and create trouble. If anyone challenge you - you try to make them look like fools, when in reality you look like the fool...

It would definitely take more than a few of your tactics to have me leave this site.."poor me" LOL...I am a woman dealing directly with gang members, sex offenders, drug dealers and everything in between...so your "if you don't like me, no body is forcing me to stay" comment is hilarious.

I deal with lots of people that I don't agree with their choices, but unlike you, I don't judge. I help people who want a USA Travel Waiver or A Record Suspension, and yes, I get paid for it, because I am very good at what I do....Obviously you did not read my background...if you did, you would know why I am now involved in Pardons and Waivers...

I am curious what you do for a living? Are you a jaded Government Employee? Do you provide a skill service such as a Painter, Accountant, or something? Please let us know?

@Factsharing thank you for sharing. That is an incredibly fast waiver, and we would love to know more. I have not had anyone use the eSAFE pilot program yet. (I assume this is the first experience of anyone in this forum)

-what evidence did he provide
-what happened when we went to the port of entry? He would have plaid, so did they look at his paperwork (as they claim they will) and then simply fingerprint him?
-which port of entry?
-How long was the waiver for?

Thank you in advance!!

Just wanted to share our experience just in case it helps anyone out here. My husband applied for his inadmissibility waiver I-192 using eSAFE online on August 6, 2019. He submitted his biometrics at the port of entry on August 15, 2019 as part of application process. He received his waiver approval on August 21, 2019. He had been denied F-1 visa in 2001 citing misrepresentation. His case didn’t include any criminal convictions.

@Bombazinga1

You actually SOUND like Ken Scott's little buddy, the one who tried to keep his business afloat when he left the country (apparently for good). The one who used to pretend to be a "former drug lord" on his ridiculous podcasts.

The only one being laughed at, is you. For example, you have clearly never done an I-601 because you keep repeating;

“I was suggesting advanced port of entry for people who have emergencies, an I-601.”

You clearly have no idea what that application is used for.

I also do not know what this means: "Maybe you need to start using this rhetoric. It's called PR."

You actually SOUND like a dumber version of Hats. He was a little more eloquent. Generally inaccurate as well.

Here is the internet definition:

“By using Form I-601, certain foreign citizens who are ineligible to immigrate to the United States because they are “inadmissible” can request a waiver (forgiveness) of inadmissibility. This form is issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services”

Here is how is is ACTUALLY used.

A person applies for a green card (maybe a K-1, maybe they are sponsored, it doesn't matter) and they are either an existing waiver holder, or just inadmissible. When the green card is close to approval, they will ask the person to file an I-601.

So the I-192 is "advance permission to enter as a non immigrant" (visitor)
The I-601 is a waiver that allows the person to LIVE in the United States.

Please now point out where Adelaide's case is remotely related to an I-601 application? Maybe Hats can hold your hand and between the two of you, you can pile up enough bullshit to make a convincing argument.

@John Rogers

I read HatsBootsHatsBoots posts. I know them personally and they actually brought me here. I used to have good laughs after reading your conversations. HatsBootsHatsBoots is a good friend of mine. They also make waivers and this forum actually got them into the business. They actually have a 9 to 5 job and do this on the side.

Calling me out for spelling mistakes is quite low. You also make them and actually admitted it. So, calling that out doesn't really help your cause now.

I think you are confusing I-202 and I-601. I-202 is for people that are banned but I was suggesting advanced port of entry for people who have emergencies, an I-601.

HatsBootsHatsBoots used to tell me about how you used to try to "correct them" by repeating the same stuff they posted. You called them a CBP spy and other mean things. We were both laughing and were always eager to see your following posts.

Unfortunately, you are not an expert and everyone who claims to be as such is bad for your business. Claiming you have expertise in waivers sounds better. Maybe you need to start using this rhetoric. It's called PR.

You learn something new everyday and with the Trump administration, your learning curve is steep. For the first time, you admitted that the system is unfair, so you are showing us your humanity after all. I'm proud of you.

@Bombazinga1

A couple of corrections. The I-601 would not be applicable in Adelaide's situation. I think you meant to say "I-212" but I cannot be sure. Again your making the mistake of looking on the internet and not having enough experience to understand what an I-601 is actually used for. I do about 10 I-601's a year.

You need to understand the difference between "pray" and "prey". I make mistakes myself but you keep making this one, so I think its time to point it out.

You sound a lot like HatsBootsHatsBoots. No one is calling you a 'loser'. Your a bit of an attention seeker, but so is my youngest daughter.

Jazzsax1 and I like to have political banter here so I guess I can't criticize you too harshly for going so far off topic but you should try and at least be accurate. A lot of what you say is inaccurate.

Michelle and I try very hard to do business in an ethical manner. There are many companies that do not, you are correct about that. But you are doing what you have railed about, which is 'paint everyone with the same brush', much like Homeland Security and even the justice system does.

It is a very unfair system. No one likes Waivers. Americans don't like having to file a Rehabilitation. I love my job but honestly I wanted to be an English Teacher. I think I lucked out. Helping people suits my personality.

Railing against the system HERE, doesn't help my clients. No one on here likes doing waivers, that is an accepted fact. Another fact is that some here do waivers on their own, and will continue to do waivers on their own. They are welcome to my free advice. They may have friends or family that need help. Others may have more complicated cases and want some help. I also get information that "helps" my expertise from here, as well as at the airport. The larger the 'circle' of knowledge, the better the advice I can give my own clients.

I am definitely an "expert" in Pardons and Waivers.

@Adelaide

Do you want me to tell you the truth? Are you ready for it?

If you have a 10 year ban, then you wait for it to expire. Applying for a waiver is futile right now. After 5 years, you can make a run for it but then again the chances of getting it are 50/50 with the current administration.

These 2 clowns you refer to will not get you any closer to entering America because they simply don't know. CBP is unpredictable. Canada has a better system and is much clearer.

You can try to for an advanced port of entry I-601. Chances of getting it are slim with the current administration once again. There are no other ways, I hope that is clear for you.

Now you have all the answers you need free of charge. By the way, this information has been told to you countless of times but you don't seem to understand. You come here often posting same redundant stuff. John loves it because he keeps reposting the same shit. Makes him look like an expert. The waivers and pardons business is a scam. There are thousands of them online claiming they are better than the others.

Because only a few people get denied entry, they pray on them and take them to the cleaners. It's not really an issue because society doesn't like illegal immigrants or criminals. Politicians know this and use it to their advantage. Again, I mentioned that in my long post which you spat at.

I have no pity for people who overstay their visit actually, each country gives you at least 30 to 90 days to enter as a tourist. What could possibly make you exceed your stay? This is all on you.

Now grow a pair. And boom drops the mic.

You want things to change, then they won't with your mentality.

Off course, John and Michelle will try to discredit me because I'm a no good loser that knows nothing after all. They make a living out of waivers, why would they act any differently.

If you want advice. I'm here free of charge. There are no experts in this business and you should stay away from anyone who claims he is.

#1843 @Bombazinga1

Whether I like John Rogers is neither here nor there. I've actually never talked to him other than any interaction through this forum. He strikes me as having a good head on his shoulders and offers prudent and timely suggestions/advice here.

This is what I came to this forum for... To get the lay of the "waiver landscape" as it were.

Initially I went to a well referred and well respected lawyer approximately 3 months after my initial ban. This lawyer charged me upwards of $300 for a CONSULTATION and in no way intimated to me that me applying for a waiver so close to getting banned was in NO WAY going to be successful.

I highly doubt neither John Rogers nor Michelle (who I've also never met) would have charged me $300 for a consultation and in particular knowing knowing full well that there was no way in hell I had a realistic chance of getting a waiver 3 months after just being banned.

I like to believe I have the discernment of nuance to understand the waiver process now only because the John Rogers and Michelles exist. My "education" in this respect is ongoing because of them as well.

The facts are as follows:

1) America requires waivers for people they have deemed having transgressions that require the aforementioned waiver.

2) I need a waiver.
3) I want the best possible chance of getting a waiver.

4) I believe John Rogers and or Michelle would steer me correctly in the ultimate goal of getting a waiver and would do so in an ethical manner.

5) I believe they will not rip me off or take my money unnecessarily should I CHOOSE to use their services.

Other FACTS to consider: Yes the laws suck and often are applied willy nilly it would seem. Until the people rise up (as per your suggestion) the FACTS are such that I need a waiver. I have neither the time nor the inclination to wait until the "people rise up" to change a system that in ALL reality will take YEARS to change.

Until then the FACTS are such that any screed you post is not in any way going to help me receive a waiver in the foreseeable future.

@Adelaide

Shameful, this place was once a transparent clean forum before all these pardon services took over, claiming they help people.

Sounds like you really like this John Rogers fellow. I'm so sorry you have an issue crossing the border. I really hope you have a waiver or in the process of getting one in the future. I wish the best of luck to you. Remember, I'm not the one with the problem. You want to change things, then act.

@Michelle

I think you should go to the border and do as you claim. Who said I can't go to the US? Why do you continue to judge me on assumptions? As for me being here, if you are here, I deserve just as much as you to be here. If you don't like me, nobody is forcing you to stay, poor thing. I will ask you one more question. Do you find the current system fair? Why did you get into the waivers and pardons business?

@John Rogers

I would think that you would make more money doing waivers than working a regular 9 to 5 job. Just saying. You failed to answer my question once more. Do you find the current system fair? I never said anything about pardons. I keep asking about waivers.

#1840

@John Rogers

...drops mic!

@Bombazinga1 I didn't think you did waivers.

“I am trying to get people on board to force a change.”

But you want to stay anonymous? That is not going to work, because you risk nothing.

I have taken part in numerous consultations on the Pardon process, and if you look at my Facebook, you will see I am vehemently anti-Republican, anti Trump, anti-right wing anything. But I actually DO things to TRY an affect change, and I do not hide. "Social Justice Warriors" are useless if they do not show themselves.

You CAN do Pardons and Waivers and be "unfeeling and uncaring" about how the world works, but for myself (and I can see Michelle feels the same) we genuinely FEEL for our clients dilemma's and want them to be successful. When you can combine causes you care about with a profession, who get a job you love. And I assure you, I love mine.

#1836 Julia and #1836 Obie, Congratulations...

#1830. Bombazinga1, I am surprised you are still here; however, since we are so lucky, I will thank you for calling me clever and educating you on the Jay Treaty Act. My reluctant correspondence with you is done. Thank goodness.

I would make one final suggestion to you....instead of being on here bothering people who are actually wanting to try to enter the USA for their own reasons, ..why don't you start sending letters direct to USA Customs and Border Protection, or better yet, just show up at one of the Customs Port of Entries and give them on of your "long speeches" "about how they should give you a 2nd chance."

And when they give you a 10 year ban, you can use that time to think about all the reasons why your 2nd chance didn't work.

I am sure they will care about as much as any of us do on here.

Received my 5 year waiver renewal on Aug 22. It was submitted June 11th at Peace Arch.

Just received my waiver! Dropped off at rainbow bridge June 13 and received 5 year waiver in the mail today. This is my first waiver application and wasn’t expecting 5 years but happy not to have to redo this process in a year.

@John Rogers

I don't do waivers for a living. I make long speeches to try to make a statement on how countries don't give a second chance to individuals who made a mistake. This is a form of discrimination. I will ask you again, do you agree with the present situation?

I am trying to get people on board to force a change.

You on the other hand, do this for a living and looking to make your annual salary.

Revealing myself is useless as you would understand and I repeat, I don't do waivers.

I happen to know that once you have a file on the RCMP, it's hard to remove and CBP agents will bar you entry. They can see your fingerprints. The only situation you can get away with this is dunk driving. Overstays and bans are also equally as hard.

Now off you go.

@bombazinga1

You sound ridiculous.

“You are clearly here to pray on the vulnerable. You are looking for business. A true businessman would not waste time but would rather promote his business through other means. This is free advertising for you. This forum should be as transparent as possible. Then you send phony clients of yours here to back you up.”

I am not here to "prey" on anyone. I am looking for business. In exchange I enjoy giving free information, and listening to others. I learn about waivers I had no part in that way. This helps me be better at my job. I also enjoy giving insight to people who might only know THEIR waiver application, and now I can give them the benefit of what others are going through.

Absolutely anyone who says they are a client of mine is real. The people who come here can tell the difference between fake and real.

This forum SHOULD be as transparent as possible, but I respect the right of people APPLYING for waivers to remain anonymous. You on the other hand PREACH transparency, then you give long, very general speeches that have nothing to do with waivers, yet hide behind a fake name.

If you are so passionate, please reveal who you are. If you cannot be "transparent", that's fine, but stop preaching about things you cannot provide.

@John Rogers

Admit that the whole system is ridiculous. A person shouldn't be discriminated on the basis of an existing criminal record. People make mistakes. They learn from them and move on. After a certain time has passed, neither Canada or the US should bar entry to these individuals.

The true criminals or terrorists are the real threats. They find ways to enter North America freely.

You are clearly here to pray on the vulnerable. You are looking for business. A true businessman would not waste time but would rather promote his business through other means. This is free advertising for you. This forum should be as transparent as possible. Then you send phony clients of yours here to back you up.

Whatever Michelle and you can possibly think of me, doesn't matter. The people however need to know.
