Thank you for the reply.
I applied for my second waiver at the end of March. I've been waiting the suggested 130 days to send an email inquiry, which is in 4 days, but it seems you had no issues emailing early, that's great!
Hopefully I receive something in the mail soon!
Thanks again.
Does any one know if this process is faster if you do NOT have a criminal record AT ALL (meaning in Canada and US) I know this sounds crazy but they found me inadmissible for "intent" of my trip, not because I have done anything in my past. I submitted my waiver on July 19th,2016 and I just wanted to know what anyones ideas or thoughts were in regards to processing times for individuals that have no crimina record. I'm assuming it should not take longer than 3 months because they essentially have nothing to find additional info on because I have no record.
@Milan I applied back on November 2015 and im still waiting... I have no criminal background history. My RCMP check came in like 5 days. Mine was an overstay and my first application so I expect it to take some time. I email every couple months after the initial wait time. I'm just staying hopeful that's all you can do.
Thank you for the reply. But the difference between your situation and mine is that there was actually an immigration offence committed. I was on my way to the states and before I boarded a plane I was turned away NOT because I committed an immigration offence but because they "assumed" I was going too . So they judged me based on something I do in Canada which is legal here but not in America. So I'm basically getting a waiver because of "asssumed intent" not because I actually did something.
If anyone else has similar situations or they have some knowledge about my matter please feel free to reply Im having complete abxiety over this
Hello All,
I submitted my application just over 130 days ago and I've yet to receive my waiver. I emailed for a status update and received the following reply.
“Your application was received and is being processed. Due to the individual circumstances of each waiver application, there is not a set timeframe to give as to when an application decision will be completed.”
Has anyone received this email and has received a waiver since the reply? If so, how long did it take after receiving this email to receive the waiver?
Does anyone know if there is a series of email replies they use and if there is a particular sequence they use? If so, any idea where I would fall in the approval process?
Appreciate any insight you can provide.
Thanks,
Gary
@Gary The message you received is usually the standard message they send when the paper work is still being processed. I have gotten the same email twice and another one that stated my application was going thru additional security checks. The one you will receive when a decision has been made will state something like a decision has been mailed and has been mailed out to you. Takes about a week or so go reach you. I have been waiting since November. There is no procedure of how each application is processed that's why they don't issue a set time frame. Good Luck and stay positive
Thank you for the reply. How often do you request an update?
@Gary After the initial waiting period email, I request one every couple months now.
