How to check waiver application status?

@pascal You can try emailing inquiry.waiver.aro@dhs.gov but I've heard it's hit and miss.

Thanks!

I've had 100% response success (2 for 2) from inquiry.waiver.aro@dhs.gov. In both cases my waiver was already on the way so my response was,

“On Month, Day, Year, a decision was mailed to the address of record provided on your application.”

In the first case in 2011 it took one day to get the response and in the second case in 2014 it took 4 hours.

Make sure to include your full name as it appears on the application, your date of birth, your 'A Number' (if you have one already), the port of entry or pre-clearance where you filed your application and the date that you filed the application. My email subject was 'I-192 Waiver application status'

@i194HFX hey thanks. How long did it take them to process? I've been waiting about 2 months now.

does that effect your processing time if I check my application status?

i want to check my application status.

i applied waiver second time in may , 2016. but i did not get any response till now. my file number is A95 967 980. thanx

Muhammad why in the world would you post your file number on a public Forum?
Do you not realize that number is unique to you and you Only?
In the wrong hands someone could use that number and cause havoc for You!!

Also it is clearly stated all over this forum and USA government entry site that you shouldn't ask for a update until 150 days has passed.

Is there any chance of crossing to the US while the waiver is being processed?

@Stressed

Parole is a legal fiction that allows for the physical entry of an individual into the United States without actually "admitting" him or her into the country. Parole is commonly used to allow otherwise inadmissible individuals to enter the country for specific reasons, for a limited period of time and usually involves a degree of urgency.

An individual may be paroled into the country at the discretion of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), whether it be by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) or by U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS). Generally, successful cases for parole involved strong humanitarian reasons or reasons of significant public benefit.

While each parole application is judged on a case by case basis, parole requests that do not rely upon a strong humanitarian need or a public benefit will almost certainly be denied. DHS scrutinizes applications for parole carefully because the agency does not want the process to be used to circumvent other immigration laws used to keep certain individuals out of the country.

Therefore, foreign nationals who are seeking to be paroled into the U.S. should submit a comprehensive packet to the appropriate agency (whether it be CBP or USCIS) regarding the reasons for their inadmissibility and describe their urgent need to enter the U.S., together with supporting documentation.

Urgent Need to Enter While Waiver is Pending

The processing time for certain waivers ranges from six to eight months. In some situations, a foreign national may have an urgent family or business need that requires them to enter the U.S. while his or her waiver is pending. Paroles provides a cure for this situation by allowing the foreign national into the U.S. to tend to that urgent need. However, parole would not be applicable in those situations where the foreign national has a need to continue and/or begin their employment with a U.S. employer.

Yup this is all correct. We actually have a copy of the CBP memo that CBP uses to determine whether to grant or deny a parole.

People, there is a reason why"" Identity Fraud"" is prevalent ...please use your common sense when putting your file numbers in a public forum with your @ email.

If you have such a worry, you should have hired a professional lawyer in the first place...just to save a few bucks is really asking for trouble putting your info out there.

Heaven forbid someone uses your name and "A" number to get into the US without your knowledge... you are truly fucked!

I have applied for a renewal of my waiver in nov28 2016 it is suppose to take 4 to 8 weeks it is now 4 months how do I get in touch with them to find out where my waiver is

@linda Hawley waivers take 4 to 8 months NOT weeks. What date did you apply? So far the most recent waivers that have been approved are from early November.

I applied on n0v 28 2016 for a renewable waiver

@LindaHawley... the very reply (# 1) of this thread tells exactly how to get in touch with them.
