@Kscott. I charge $650 including taxes and fingerprints.

The letter CLEARLY states they are raising the fees because of 1. cuts to their funding 2. because they cannot run a deficit. Again, this was proposed BEFORE covid-19 (we have been talking about it on this forum for months) so why would the increase be because of a "reduced amount of applications"? Again, Ken Scott is INACCURATE.

The picture of me you referred to was Brazilian Jui Jitsui. (Bjj) This was discussed here when you pretended to "train people" in self defence, and I pointed out that you were making it up. I posted proof that I had won the No Gi bjj over 30 Canadian Championships when I was 40. My hobby is fighting. Thats why I can easily spot a phony. (you)

I used to work for NUS Consulting in the 90's. (National Utility Services) When I told you that, you were pretty drunk. I can see why your confused.

You asked me to form an "alliance" with you and Michelle. I explained that I could not, since you were not honest, credible, or accredited by the RCMP, like me and Michelle. Your "claim" that you are suing anyone is another of your aspirations that you never do. Like opening up all these offices you were supposed to. I have never met anyone so determined to promise a bunch of things in writing, and then have NONE of them turn out. Why don't you announce something AFTER you do it. It makes you look like you promise a lot (like September letters) but NEVER deliver. (Reality)

Give advice, troll for business, I don't care. Just be accurate and honest.

@John yeah this is what I basically said, and I understand if you have a chronic reading comprehension issue. The fees are going up because they have had a major fee loss due to the number of all the applications (such as Green Card) that have dropped off.

Btw...So John...did you or did you not tell me that you are a Utilities Consultant on the phone around 2017-2018? Did you or did you not say in the other room that your wife was wanting me to call her/waiting for my call at your "office"? These are 2 simple yes or no questions and they go to your state of mind and credibility. If you lie, then I will find a way to post conversation here in writing here since I keep printed copies of what you say.

I also want to let you know that we have been constantly printing your false statements against us and will be filing a lawsuit for libel against you sooner than you think. John ask your boss about the meaning of libel although she will be furious that you were stupid enough to defame us in writing on a public forum..lol So please continue in writing to use words like scam and deceptive in regard to us. :)

@Terry17 as usual John Rogers does not know what he is talking about and does not work for us. He does not know how to obtain the Lifetime Clearances, so he does what he does best which is cry and whine. He essentially admitted in the other room that he is a wanna be bully. He got picked on in school and had his lunch money taken. So now he wears his 1980's Karate Kid movie costume and takes pics. I really wish there were a way that I could post that pic here. John will not deny the Karate Kid uniform because he knows it is the truth. He despises the September Letter because he does not know how to obtain them and is beyond jealous of us overall. He does not understand what a 100% money back guarantee means. Well John it means that you get 100% of your money back if you get only a waiver.

He has no idea what we charge and is unquestionably upset that he cannot charge what we do. Everyone here knows that we are expensive and logically you would think that they will run to John for his $399 specials..lol So I do not understand why he would be upset that we charge higher fees than he ever could. Let us see how long he stays in business after the fee hike in October. We will always be here because of the type of clientele that retain us.

He does not even know the latest things that we are doing for clients since in his defence we have blocked him from our social media. Other people in this room are privy to what we do for clients, but we purposely do not share it with him, and he is upset. I keep telling him that he should do some things to gain some confidence. John may be the one struggling and is furious that I have the 6 locations and other things. lol

Anyway, hopefully you understand about September Letters and pay no attention to the flamingly flamboyant individual that signs up new utility clients. If I want HBO, then I will call him.

Here is Homeland Security, in their own words, on why the fee is going up. (This was sent to me via email from uscis@public.govdelivery.com)

WASHINGTON—Today, the Department of Homeland Security announced a final rule that adjusts fees for certain immigration and naturalization benefit requests to ensure U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recovers its costs of services.
Unlike most government agencies, USCIS is fee funded. Fees collected and deposited into the Immigration Examinations Fee Account fund nearly 97% of USCIS’ budget.

As required by federal law, USCIS conducted a comprehensive biennial fee review and determined that current fees do not recover the cost of providing adjudication and naturalization services. DHS is adjusting USCIS fees by a weighted average increase of 20% to help recover its operational costs. Current fees would leave the agency underfunded by about $1 billion per year.

@Terry17

A September Letter is simply a document from Homeland Security that indicates they have reviewed your case, and you do not need a waiver. The "scam" that Ken Scott presents is that instead of being honest and indicating he does waivers, he dangles the possibility that "maybe I can get you a September Letter instead". You will simply get a waiver.

He also doesn't charge anyone these fees he is quoting. I guarantee you he cannot produce a single person who paid more than $1500 to him. I have a couple of his former clients and they both paid less than $1000.00. We know his "company" is struggling, so don't expect to be invited to a "Yacht" anytime soon.

As you can see by his posts, he is a con man, and very unprofessional. He has a podcast where he pretends to interview former "gang members" who turn out to be his business partner. Like everything he says, Ken live's in the "half-truth". That is also why he cannot be accredited to fingerprint by the RCMP. Both Michelle and I are accredited by the RCMP. Ken also blocks access to his social media to hide. We don't even know if he is still in Canada because he was in the UK for the better part of a year, and only seems to communicate through Wattsapp. People not in Canada prefer this.

If you have an opportunity for a September Letter, it will be evident right away. No one is going to "manufacture" a September Letter just because you pay them.

@Terry17 A September Letter is basically a letter issued by CBP that states that a person's offence does not require a US Entry Waiver and is essentially a Lifetime Clearance. We do them for BC people mostly that have been referred to us by good sources or people that I meet at social functions in Surrey. They basically come with a 100% money back guarantee. Apparently, no other waiver provider offers or knows how to get them for cases (mostly complex) as we are discovering. Also note that some waiver cases will only qualify for a US Entry Waiver only.

John and other Discount Waiver Companies despises them and us since apparently, we literally take food from their mouths. We automatically screen people for them when they call us to see if they qualify. We charge between $3500 to $5000Cdn for them depending on the complexity of the case but yes, they are good for life. We have saved money for nearly 500 - 1000 people a year. I would rather clear someone for life if they qualify since it saves the person a lot of money.

@Magnus @Michelle @Jazzsax Pay no attention to what this Soy Boy Cuck has just said. The USA does not really care much for Canada and feel that that they are the #1 place on Earth. They have "essentially stated in the Federal Register(4) that people will find a way to pay the govt fees by any means necessary if they want to travel or move to there. I am unsure of when John conducted the last census survey regarding the specific number of Canadians in all of Canada that need waivers to enter the USA. So I am unsure why he feels that the numbers are small since people are still getting relevant convictions today and in the future. This would change the numbers but Perhaps John has used the Doctor's TARDIS and can travel in time to see current and future numbers..hmmm

I will agree with him for "During this awful pandemic, with the United States once again proving they are inferior to Canada in so many ways"...Although Canada does not issue green card.

Also as per John, "The USA is still the hot woman in the club". Men are still flocking and she can "take her pick". Remember that people don't "dream" of coming to Canada, they come as a second choice. The USA is still the "dream" for many." Right now more people want Canada than the USA. He does not understand that USCIS has raised their fees because they state that they are getting less fee revenue from all applicatiuonsnot now. So he was right when Obama was in but and this proven by USCIS.

Here John ask your boss to read this to you and you will understand why USCIS needs the money and it has nothing to do with DHS funding. CBP is not funded by application fees. Nearly 70 percent of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services employees will be furloughed because the immigration processing fees that fund the agency have plummeted.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/03/us/politics/immigration-furloughs-coronavirus.html

Stop passing off fake news Mr. Truump..oops auto correct John. Sorry

@John well I was waiting for you to finally respond and you did not fully disappoint me. I am surprised that you responded though considering the humiliating pasting that you received in the other room regarding helping people get their money back that were ripped off. You are free to use Esafe as that is your choice. We choose not to use it unless it is mandatory, and this is our choice. End of story. You have a habit of trying to shove your ideas down the throats of people as I suspect you may have had firsthand recipient experience of this as perhaps a young man.

We see no sense in it since the person still has to travel to a port of entry anyway. I guess you personally can use the $10.00 savings though to put another happy meal on the table. I also cannot speak for Pearson, but our borders do not lecture our people as such. The guards are well aware of whom we are and like our work product. 99% of the time there is no issue at our borders.

Unquestionably, you are not a Tom Leykis listener/follower as I am since you are obviously unaware of the term Vaginamony. However I am not surprised since you have already established whom wears the pants in your house(clearly not you) as you said in the last room that she was waiting for my call at your home office..lol Don't worry I do not have these vaginamony issues as such as you may have in the future.
Also do not lie and say that you did not tell me that she was waiting for me to call her since I have printed out the pages and can highlight where you have made this statement. Hmmm so you are asking a man of Cuban/Dominican descent that is a Multinational Executive with 6 global locations, good looking, Yacht Owner, fit, can cook, dance and has a list of female Canines to call your wife…. hmmm… This sounds like some sort of Soy Boy Cuck stuff to me Hmmm…Why would a “husband” ask this of another guy although it would not be the first time that this has been asked of me.

Anyway, I care about investing and relaxing on my Coal Harbour Yacht. You can be the Leave It To Beaver mum...(oops sorry auto correct) dad yourself since a lot of women especially now because of Covid need Soy Boy Cucks to pay the bills. So yeah just wanted to provide clarification on the Vaginamony question that you posed my Brotha. :)

Anyway, I checked the client and staff member rosters and I did not see your name listed. Hence you are not aware of our policies and procedures. Some of these policies were mentioned on our Facebook business pages as well as my personal one so yes you are definitely not aware.

However, in defence of you, you still would not know since I do not and will not share my business with my other female Canines either. Anyway, you often utter sheer nonsense, are an unsuccessful wanna be bully/individual(as you stated), and have a clearly proven track record of only caring about the money from clients as you indicated in the aforementioned room. Again, do not lie as I have your own words in writing from you.

Btw....using your own words...why do you not offer the same service? Meaning when I said that certain cases may be given the money back guarantee? I already know the reason is that you are in pauper status and thus cannot afford to do so and this is fine. However, you should have the extra income from your Utilities Consulting day job? So yeah keep signing up people for cable and internet since they are indeed needed services. because of Covid. Feel free to have a nice day. 😊

@Magnus @Michelle @Jazzsax

Remember, we here in Canada have a very "self important" view of how the US sees us. In truth, only a small percentage of people that travel to the United States NEED waivers. During this awful pandemic, with the United States once again proving they are inferior to Canada in so many ways...Canadians are still doing green card applications.

The USA is still the "hot woman in the club". Men are still flocking and she can "take her pick". Remember that people don't "dream" of coming to Canada, they come as a second choice. The USA is still the "dream" for many.

The problem with this Fee increase is the politics. Homeland Security cannot run a deficit. They lost a chunk of money to ICE. Therefore the fee increases are mandated by law.

I would surmise that this fee increase will be rolled back if we are fortunate to get a Biden Administration.

Obama was very pro-immigration and paved the way for a more efficient immigration situation. Biden is of that same school of thought.

One of the hallmarks, and was very high up on the docket, of the Clinton Administration (which we unfortunately didn't get) was to make the immigration system more friendly and efficient as it pertained specifically to Canadians.

No average Canadian who needs a waiver and wishes to go to Disneyland with the kids or spend a couple weekends in Vegas or take a 2 week vacay to Hawaii is going to (either they will be unwilling and/or simply unable to) spend this kind of money for something that may only serve them for a one year term or they may get denied completely and have that money essentially flushed down the drain.

Th Trump administration has made huge missteps with their immigration policies (student visas, work visas, etc) that is actually serving to be detrimental to their economy. It is appealing to the base of the Trump followers and as such with their "base level" of intelligence they are unable to digest the particulars of this situation. Simply their reptilian brain is only able to process "Immigration is bad because Donny says so." Trump knows this...just as with his foolishness with the "wall".

USCIS has actually had to furlough some of their workforce (not a small number) due to this. Do not get fooled this is not a good step for them.

Unless one needs a waiver desperately the most prudent thing would probably hope for a Biden Administration and should that come to fruition I would be willing to bet a large sum of money that this waiver fee will be rolled back to where it currently is and possibly even a bit lower. I see that happening in the first quarter of 2021 with Biden in office.

@Michelle

I won't get a september letter based on my charges. It's waiver only for me.

Still though. I think my only concern is if they look at this as a money grab. I find zero issue with paying 2K for a 5 year waiver if neccessary (seriously, that's $400 a year, and I could spend that on one nice meal out in Napa without blinking).... but it seems excessive for short term waivers.

But then again so is everything else with the US right now... excessive. LOL.

I won't be surprised if the border isn't open again until next summer.

Jazzsax1. I feel confident that between John, Ken and myself you will receive a waiver..the question is how long will you be granted?..1, 3 or 5 years or the September Letter as Ken refers too. I do not guarantee the time line you will get one, but I also will not take your case if I don't think you will receive a waiver.

I should note, that when I sent my comment in - I think the proposed fee increase was to $900, not $1400...

@Jazzsax, I finally finished reviewing entire document, and was surprised to see reference to my comment I had sent them when they first asked for public opinion regarding a fee increase..here is my comment and their response..unfortunately, it does not sound like they are going to review the time a waiver is granted for.

7. FORM I-192, APPLICATION FOR ADVANCE PERMISSION TO ENTER AS A NONIMMIGRANT

Comments: A commenter said it did not oppose a fee increase associated with Form I-192 but wrote that the fee increase is quite high for an application fee that, if approved, grants entry to the U.S. for a relatively short time. The commenter said the proposal would cost Canadian citizens $1,400 on average and questioned whether USCIS was considering increasing the duration of authorized presence in the U.S. to a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 10 years.

Response: DHS acknowledges a considerable increase of the fee for Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as a Nonimmigrant. The new fee established in this final rule represents the estimated full cost of adjudication.[85]See INA section 286(m), 8 U.S.C. 1356(m). As with other USCIS fees, the fee amount is derived from the cost to USCIS of providing the relevant service; the fee is not related to the duration of the benefit received. Therefore, DHS did not evaluate potential changes in the duration of authorized presence as part of this final rule.

@Michelle

I don't think the USA cares if it impacts them to be honest. But this is a huge increase.

If the USA were to say "All waivers are now five year (or whatever)" for that price, fine I would pay it. But I have a really hard time knowing you could be paying close to 2k canadian and not even knowing you will get one.

I am contacting all my renewal waivers for this year, and advising to start the process now, as here in Saskatchewan and Alberta, you must provide court documents with waiver applications, and the time line before October 2, is very short. In fact, most new waiver clients will not meet the timeline. I wonder if the USA has any idea how much this is going to impact them.

@KSCOTT what is a september letter?

Is there any discussion of a reduction for Canadians like previously?

This is a load of crap lol

@KenScott

You are really trying to make sure no one asks you do to eSafe. Your argument makes no sense. Whether they submit through eSafe or not, they will still drive to the border. The border PREFERS eSafe actually. You will not find a single Homeland Security officer who prefers to enter all that information. At Pearson they would LECTURE people who were NOT using it. I told Michelle yesterday you would appear with all this nonesense and I was right.

The fee going up hasn't made you any better at getting September Letters. Your "scam" will be more convincing to people wanting to never have to re-do the Waiver, but pretending your getting September Letter when your really just getting waivers is not honest.

This is all the more reason why we are going to start pushing the Lifetime Clearances aka September Letters even more now for cases that qualify. We already do an automatic screening for when people initially call us for this service.

So your pushing it "harder" now? How hard were you pushing it before?

"Grandfathering" your fee has nothing to do with the Homeland Security fee. You should be DISCOUNTING return clients anyways. Again, an attempt at being deceptive.

"paying vaginamony to an ex wife". Maybe you should explain this to everyone before we jump to conclusions. I don't want to assume your some sort of "deadbeat dad" but I do sense some bitterness here. Maybe just clear the air. maybe it was an "auto-correct" issue. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

@michelle some Canadians will still pay this fee and more. It really depends on the type of client and where he/she lives. The client that stole a car at 19, is now 50, lives in Winnipeg, paying vaginamony to an ex wife, and is a forklift driver will not likely pay. The now rehabilitated gentlemen whom have changed their lives around but were convicted of formerly moving major weight/bricks from Western Canada and Montreal to all of the USA and Mexico have the financial ability to pay and it is no issue with them.

Actually, this is the actual rule as published on the official Federal Register.

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/08/03/2020-16389/us-citizenship-and-immigration-services-fee-schedule-and-changes-to-certain-other-immigration

Anyway, yes, the bottom line is that the I-192 waiver US Govt fee will be $1400 Effective 10/2/2020. There is absolutely nothing that we can do about this and it will require some individual hard decisions. It will not impact our clients as much, but it will definitely hurt the small fish cases. This is all the more reason why we are going to start pushing the Lifetime Clearances aka September Letters even more now for cases that qualify. We already do an automatic screening for when people initially call us for this service.

Also, this includes pushing our seminars to help some people avoid having to file for a us entry waiver if they qualify. We have always said on our Facebook business pages that we are constantly looking for ways to save people money. I also believe that we have mentioned the same thing on our main site.

I cannot stress enough to people that you really need to do your homework before you file for a US Entry Waiver now. Absolutely do not think that every offence will require one since this is not the case. There are other areas of relief that you may or may not qualify for depending on your situation. You had really better use your head before you open your wallet and start paying a $1400usd gov't fee.

This will have a major impact on the Discount Waiver Companies and I believe that many will have to shut down. Now some people will not really be able to cheap out and they will either have to pay the higher fees or not travel to the USA.

Our current clients will be grandfathered at their certain price for the rest of their life so this will not impact them as much. We also have certain provisions in place that will soften the impact for our clients based on the fee increase. We will also start offering 100% money back guarantees on certain cases that qualify. It will not impact us as much since we have a 98% - 99% success rate.

So yes, the bottom line is that we are here for you and will do whatever we can to soften this blow to you.

[ KSCOTT appended this reply on August 5, 2020 @ 10:05 am ]

I also am unsure if the $10.00 discount will even apply to US Entry Waiver cases. I think it may be a bit of a moot point to people anyway since they will still have to drive to a border to submit their fingerprints.So essentially there really would be no discount at all. So it becomes a point of how much people value their time since you are still burning fuel going to a border for the prints and the amount of time waiting in line and such. Just your time alone should have more than a $10.00 value. So yeah we are going to have to get used to the fact that these services cost money. Plus also the fact that the waiver govt fee will go up again in the future. Again, now is the time to see if you even need to go through this waiver process. We will do our best to see if you qualify for the lifetime clearance since some offences clearly do. Again, also the fact that we have provisions in place that will soften the impact of this new govt fee.
