I love the "they should shut this forum down" posts, just because the one guy wants to take his ball and go home because he can't be "the big expert".

Why do you keep saying this: "The posters didn't understand why the US refuses them entry and treats them like criminals. It seems to most of us, everyone has the right for a second try and we shouldn't judge. All posters agreed that the system needs upgrading."

You post this whine CONSTANTLY, as if Homeland Security cares. The posters just want to enter the United States. The system is the system. Posting about how "unfair it is" doesn't get anyone closer to entry. And don't pretend your somehow advocating for these people when you hide in anonymity. If you want people to believe you really want to help them, then tell us who you are, and how you are trying to help.

@Mr. Fantastic the intention of this forum is to give people information. It works best when there is

-a combination of people doing the waiver on their own in different locations in the country
-people who may have hired others and can share good/bad experiences
-people with questions
-people who do this for a living, and can give ACCURATE answers based not just on one or two examples, but hundreds.

Mr. Fantastic, HatsBootsHats and other aliases are from a single guy who hates being told when something he posts isn't accurate, not because he hopes to make money, (probably) but because he craves being the expert. He searches the internet and did a single waiver so now considers himself and "expert" and hates being "corrected".

Brief information regarding DUI from CBP Info Center web site..

Admission to the U.S. with either a misdemeanor or criminal record

Can I be admitted into the United States if I have a misdemeanor or a criminal record (for example a DUI)?

The United States (U.S.) does not deny entry to persons that has a "Driving Under the Influence" (DUI) conviction. Although, if there are multiple convictions for this and/or other misdemeanors, you could be denied entry.

Generally, any convictions for drug possession can result in a denial of entry. If the conviction was long ago, you may have to contact the U.S. Embassy, Office of Consular Affairs in your country to obtain a waiver. Other misdemeanors may result in denial if they were recent.

A crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT) may be grounds to deny entry to the U.S.

So to bring this back on track, here is some good information I found on the web..it is basic, but gives a good idea for anyone who is interested in reasons they may be denied. I do not own this article, but agree with most of the information provided.

@Michelle

I have been following the forum for some time and never posted anything. Never felt the need but new posters come time to time and get bad information.

You seem oblivious to the facts that many of the posters have pointed out. The forum was free of advertisement. I have a feeling that many of you are using fake profiles to build a war against each other to ramp up business. The rogue agents you keep referring to is probably one of you.

If I were the owner of this website, I would pull the plug, might teach you a lesson. Very unethical way to do business.

@1955 and 1956...you are most likely the same person..the fact that you pointed out names of the few people who have provided great assistance to others on here and not the ramblings of the rouge guest..only shows that you are that person..so sad you need such attention. Love the used salesman reference..people buy thousands of cars a month..so I am in a good place..might have to work that in my advertising. .thank u.. By the way..John..myself..and Ken have been upfront about being business owners and everything we do..not hiding behind multiple profiles and inventing nonsense stories..no one has had problems with us except those who we call out..just saying..

Hi Michelle, I agree, you’re not very bright. Appreciate you admitting it though. It’s good to know your own weaknesses and being schooled by an amateur like me vs ‘expert’ like you who do waivers for a living. Don’t let the door hit you.

@Michelle

If you look back, the intention of the website's founder was to help fellow Canadians to cross the border. Many posters reached out in support to help one another free of charge. It was a great place to gain knowledge and obtain the right again to cross.

The posters didn't understand why the US refuses them entry and treats them like criminals. It seems to most of us, everyone has the right for a second try and we shouldn't judge. All posters agreed that the system needs upgrading.

Then so called experts such as yourself and John to name a few (I can add Adelaide, HatsBoots and Ken Scott) made a mockery out of this forum. It seems everyone of you that I mentioned is looking to use this website as a means of advertising their services.

Very few people do actually come here to post in recent times. It seems normal. Nobody wants to hear the rhetoric of used car salesmen.

It's sad that some Canadians need waivers to cross the border in 2019 for past indiscretions, some of which are legal today.

@1944..ur answer is what I expected..I asked u for a detailed description of your waiver process u did and u deflected..ur story has so many inconsistent things..I doubt u even have or had a waiver..I am just going to assume u r another personality of the rouge guest on here..and I should know better then to involve myself in this useless banter..lesson learned..good bye..

Adelaide
On a plane
Far from the united states
Of LA
Dropping in from outer space
Takes a day
Now I see the Bogans
At the motor race
Here you know the world could turn
Or crash and burn
And you would never know it
Going where the air is clear
There's better beer in Adelaide

Charlie L. Smith's forty
Someone spiked my rice
The rest, history
Now I am a fixture down

Rundle Mall
Watching as the locals pass
Silver balls
I can see their eyes are round
They're pointed down
They scan the spanning sidewalks
Learning that there is no hurry
Fuss or worry
Adelaide

Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

It's raining
In Adelaide
A face is waiting in a window
A voice says
Why Adelaide
You could live anywhere and I say
Because I want to
Because I want to
I really really want to

And you know the earth could turn
Or crash and burn
And you would never know it
Really got to make it to the finish line
Get the record done on time
Pack the bags
And catch a flight
And you can kiss my ass goodbye
I'm in Adelaide
Adelaide
Adelaide

RE: feuding Adelaides

Stop the childish games. Focus on real matters.

Well I'm guessing it's just a "phase" for the hebetudinous troll on here. Let us hope...

Surely the words did FAZE you... and if your sensitive little tuchus finds those words "harsh" perhaps you should bite the pillow a little harder.

The real Adelaide has too great a facility with the English language to make obvious errors in English language usage. There's that little thing called perspicacity which seems to have escaped the fake Adelaide.

"Phase" is that Shakespearean btw? LMFAO.

Numpty.

#1945

I love how the uneducated like to show off their dearth of education and perspicacity with EMPIRCIAL EVIDENCE.

"Shakespearean English"??? LMFAO

Perhaps it's "Jacobean". Or perhaps not. Hmmm...

You tell me.

Now some us have a facility with PLAIN English and are just a little too (or is that "to" or "two" or "2" ?) clever for the trolls on here.

Anymore lachrymose ululating now? Sit your silly tuchus down. Did Shakespeare speak Yiddish btw?

Numpty.

No, I don’t need to be telling how to do waivers. People are doing themselves or with help of good people like you. But don’t confuse people with “you need waiver rest of your life” blanket statement for all cases. Every cases are different. You should know since you do waivers for living. It’s like going to dentist and being told to go through root canal for all tooth pains.

Hi Michelle,
You copied and pasted ones for those who were caught living in US illegally, and deported however conveniently missed below one.

I will do favor by copy pasting for Canadians overstayed more than 6 months, voluntarily left, never deported. I will hang up and listen without judging your expertise. Cheers! And you are welcome!

Who May Not Be Required to File For Consent to Reapply?
If any of the following apply to you, you may not be inadmissible under INA section 212(a)(9)(A) or (C), or both, and would not need to seek consent to reapply for admission to the United States:
1. You were inadmissible under INA 212(a)(9)(A), but your inadmissibility period has expired (see the Detailed Descriptions of Grounds of Inadmissibility Under INA Sections 212(a)(9)(A) and (C) and Criminal Penalties Under INA Section 276 section of these Instructions to determine whether one or both of these grounds of inadmissibility apply to you);
2. You were allowed to withdraw your application for admission at the border, and you departed from the United States within the time specified for your departure;
3. You were refused entry at the border, but not formally removed;
4. You were refused admission as an applicant under the Visa Waiver Program;
5. You departed from the United States after having been unlawfully present for a year or more, in the aggregate, but you are not inadmissible under INA section 212(a)(9)(C)(i)(1) because, when returning to the United States through a U.S. port-of-entry, you were paroled into the United States;

@Kamara, in fact, since you are so experienced and willing to offer free advise..why don't you give a very detailed explanation and steps of the process you did to acquire your now "no waiver status"....since many people on here are doing the waiver on their own and have overstays such as your self..your valuable free knowledge, would be a great asset to them to follow...Please be very detailed, such as forms used, all additional paperwork submitted, how you wrote your personal letter, timelines, ect....and please don't copy and paste the list that is on USA Customs website..

@1940, Kamara, some reading material for you...please don't insult my expertise, and I won't insult your lack of knowledge..

Form I-212: Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission Into the United States After Deportation or Removal
What is the Purpose of this Form?

Form I-212 is for a particular inadmissible immigrant and nonimmigrant population that is seeking permission to reapply for admission into the United States (also known as "consent to reapply") after they have been excluded, deported, or removed from the United States or had been unlawfully present in the United States for an aggregate period of more than 1 year, and subsequently entered or attempted to reenter the United States without being admitted.

Who Should File this Form?

There are three pertinent sections in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) that address the above referenced nonimmigrant and his/her need to obtain consent to reapply in advance of applying for admission into the United States. The three noted sections are §212(a)(9)(A), §212(a)(9)(C) and §276. If any of the noted sections apply to you and you are not required to obtain a visa to enter the United States as a non-immigrant, you may file Form I-212 at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)-designated port of entry or a CBP-designated preclearance office. The Form I-212 and accompanying documents must be filed in advance of travel.

If you require consent to reapply and are inadmissible to the United States because of additional reasons (for example, having; a communicable disease, criminal record for crimes involving moral turpitude, or a violation of any controlled substance law), you may also have to file a Form I-192 in conjunction with a Form I-212. Both Forms I-212 and I-192 may be downloaded at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Forms website.

Hi Michelle,

There is no point in trying to even get into straight talk with your ramblings. I will let you have you with your “you must be exception” thing.

I-212 for waiver application for overstay? Seriously?... lol.end of the thread. I know you provide service for clients charging fees but continuous education is a must in any profession.

There is no resentment here either you and definitely not John ... like I said I am here to find a nexus question and CPB hasn’t been able to provide with certainty for my peace of mind

If I were to hire a third party to help with my waiver I would rather go with John. My 2 cents. Cheers!

Mr. Rogers, we are talking from our experiences and I agree yours is wider via your clients and mine is well ..mine and what CPB told me multiple times. I am assuming your clients have other issues along with other immigration violations requiring continuous waiver.

My job requires me to travel all the time to the US and my experience has been awesome at the border both when I needed waiver to enter and since last year without needing a waiver. I highly recommend to go CBP office if you have any questions. Get the information directly from the source. Thing is you have to present yourself at border respectfully to the officers and they will support you with your inquiries most of the time. if they don’t know they even consult with supervisors and let you know. Last thing you want is act entitled and argue. That will pretty much do it. Cheers!

Addition to my comments on #1937. I will add that once a ban is finished, you do not have to submit the I-212 and all the extra paperwork that goes with that application, in addition to the I-192 any longer when applying for a Travel Waiver. Maybe this is what Mr. Karma is thinking???
