Waiver application processing times

sounds like Uber/Tinder combined into one, with the bonus of being banned at the border.

@John Rogers

You're as credible as a corrupt politician. I don't know who Ken is. All I know is that he posts here looking for customers like yourself. It's hilarious reading both of you and your war of words.

You're so desperate for customers that nobody else comes here to post no more. Seems to me you have a hard time feeding your children. Keep wasting your time posting seemingless things discrediting others and "correcting them" as you say. Who are you? The police? Give me a break Johnny!!

Again, a pardon does not make you admissible to the US. Lying to a CBP officer is a crime that can land you in deep trouble. The best approach is to remove the record from CPIC as soon as possible before travelling there. Sometimes the fingerprints are not removed with a pardon. They can see you were fingerprinted even with a pardon. Human error is possible and police make tons of mistakes. A pardon does not guarantee free passage to the US. Again, I am not looking for customers, you are. You should tell the right things. Also, a pardon does not wipe CPIC clean always.

You can say no to ever being arrested but that right there might get you a free pass this time but maybe not the next time.

There are 4 levels of CPIC. We don't know for sure what shows up to CBP officials on CPIC. They will never tell us off course. With weed legalization and the current US regime, more Canadians will be denied. All this waiver business is for people like you and the US government to make money out of unfornatate people who got caught doing something wrong once in their life. Tell me John, have you ever drove drunk? Have you ever stole? Have you ever smoked a joint? Do you find the system fair? You are not a credible source John. Guess what, 99% have done it. According to you, oops I mean the US government, we are all criminals. I'll start your waiver application right away!!

Now go ahead and post 10 different posts tomorrow about how credible you are and how your reputation is on the line.

Hello,

I know that the criminal record that you submit can not be older then 15 months.

Is there such a time limit for the court documents that are included?

Thank you

Ummm...why don't we just stop engaging each other and stick to the spirit of the forum!!! The purpose was to share information that will help people deal with their border crossing issues. If anyone wants to know about us then they can read our website.

Also, we are definitely not looking for customers here because I believe most people here either cannot or will not pay the fees that we charge(which is fine with us). Michelle is also not here looking for business. I cannot speak on other waiver providers though. Anyone in the lower mainland of BC(Esp Surrey) will know who we are and especially will know me.

I don't think the forum is the place to debate each other to see who is the best or whatever.

#1205 there really is no time limit on the court files. It is just good to keep copies for the rest of your life in case you need a waiver. This is good since your pardon can seal it the file and it is better to just keep good legible copies in your safe at home or on your computer as scanned colour copies.

@John Rogers

The only person that needs help is yourself. Stop posting here if your purpose is to intimidate others. Now, as Ken said please stick to posting relevant info about waivers.

Have a great weekend Johnny!!

HATS BOOTS...you took the words right out of my mouth..lol You definitely know your stuff and that is impressive since I have not met many that do in this waiver industry.

I applied for an I-212 waiver (I just needed it for removal as I don't have a criminal record, nor have I ever accumulated over a year of unlawful presence) on March 8 2018 (Lewinston bridge), got approval on June 18, and got it in my hand on June 22, so a little less than 110 days.

#121o This is excellent news to hear. Did they give you a removal because they thought that you were trying to move to the USA or did not have strong ties?

Hi K Scott,

I was placed in removal proceedings years ago, and I left the US before the removal proceedings were concluded (it was due to an asylum claim before I became a Canadian citizen).

According to the rule, abandoning a pending asylum claim results in 10-year ban (which I still have a little over 2 years left), even though I was never really ordered to leave the country (the removal order was not finalized yet) or physically deported.

I got my I-272 waiver two weeks ago, and was able to enter the US over the weekend at Niagara :)

I was just glad that they didn't really trouble me too much at the border (beyond simple questions such as where I work, how much money I'm carrying, and why I would ever want to visit Niagara New York lol).

Im unable to start a new thread so I’ll post my question here.
I am handing in my waiver package directly to the border, how do I obtain a certified cheque drawn from a U.S bank? I do not have a credit card so that is not an option for me.

They do accept US cash as well. Call them and find out if they do.

A USD Money Order obtained from a Canadian bank is ‘drawn from a US bank’ and they will accept it as payment. As indicated they will also accept cash.

I’m in Ontario, planning to drop off the paperwork to the Rainbow Bridge so I’ll bring cash with me then. Thanks for the replies.

Well in B.C. they will take 585 us dollars or a credit card. They will not take a cheque and they do not like money orders. Sometimes the BC borders will send a person home that is filing for a waiver if they do not feel like being bothered that day. They sometimes say that they are too busy that day. We only deal with 2 borders and one border knows us well and likes our work.

The Sumas border is the worse and they sometimes give waiver applicants and clients a hard time in general. The borders on Vancouver Island are laid back and take cash or credit cards. They don't mind at the BC borders if you pay with cash.
