Timelines have been consistent with E-safe:
1st time applicants are receiving 1 year waivers
Repeat applicants are receiving 5 year waivers
A question I am asked continually, "What about applying for waiver again using e-safe after the first e-safe waiver expires?"
(We call it renewal - however, USA does not refer to an repeat application as a renewal)..
Currently, I am advising that I do not have an answer regarding cost or process.
@John what do you advise your clients?
I’m a first time waiver recipient. Received 5 years. September 2021.
I am finding a few more 1 year waivers for first time applicants, but not all.
But, I usually discount my fees for re-applications $695 reduced to $550.00 if it was a 5 year, if it was only a 1 year, I discount it to $500.00. I have not had anyone get 2 consecutive 1 year waivers in the past 3 years.
@John, Thanks for update.
I have a Pink Card or Permanent Waiver that I was issued in 1996.
I would like to apply for a TN1 and was told that I need a Waiver specific to work.
I was also told that I would need to surrender my Pink Card.
Will this work specific waiver allow me to travel as a visitor as well or do I need another waiver?
When you apply, do put both, business specifically Tn visa and pleasure. Then you can use it for both.
@BackToUSA That's amazing to hear. Can you please tell me how long did it take for your waiver to arrive since the day you gave your biometrics.
Thanks so much
