How to check waiver application status?

As I read through this thread, I am utterly shocked at the degree of personal information that folks are posting...

Do you not understand that this is a public forum. For discussion only.
You are not contacting the ARO through this site.
Posting your file number and your contact details is a ridiculous thing to do here!

Does anyone know, How often you can email them? And does it really effect processing times?

I applied for the Waiver in November 2016 and haven't hear anything yet. Anybody knows anything?

Keep emailing them. Once a month is fine. It is the ONLY real avenue. In an emergency I have people I can call, but as long as they are emailing you back, a decision has simply not been reached. It will come.

If you applied at the Toronto Airport on April 22 2017 you should be aware that I know of two waiver files that were handed in, and cannot be found by ARO. This is not only unusual, but both were followed up on and Pearson can confirm both were received at Herndon Va. And now they cannot be located. The people are being told to reapply, and they are waiving the $585.00

If you filed a waiver on that date and do not have an answer, you should follow up immediately.

Mitch, this isn't where you send that inquiry. I have a template made up, I will email you a copy.

Re: Status of Submitted Travel Waiver Application
Applicant: Kara Leigh Hayward
D. O. B.: May 21, 1981
Address: 202-293 Euclid ave., Toronto, ON, Canada

Place of Process: U. S. Customs, Buffalo New York
Date of Processing: Dec. 18, 2016

It's been over 14 months since my waiver application was sent to Homeland Security, U. S.
Please inform me of its' status: 1) Has my application been processed? 2) Has the waiver been granted? 3) Has the paperwork been mailed to my home address?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kara I am not sure its smart to have all that personal information on here.

Captain Buck Rogers

@Kara

Your file is lost in the system, plain and simple. I hear John Rogers knows people @ DHS ask him if he can use his contacts to see what happened. If not just reply back and you will have to use the updated forms for a 'new application'

Captain Buck Rogers, who just "suddenly appeared" and is really Ken Scott obviously, I have already spoken to Kara. She is a really nice person who is anxious for an answer, and its pretty reprehensible that your feeding her fake information to make her feel like something is wrong. Homeland Security has already told her that they have the file and have not reached a decision yet.

If your going to cause people stress, then please don't post. Seriously, Ken Scott, grow up.

BO

This forum should be DISBANDED!!

K SCOTT (trusted member) Trusted

You are correct BO. This forum should be disbanded. You have trolls like John Rogers on here providing bad info to people and others in our facebook group(Complaints Against Federal Pardons). John does not seem to understand that people come here to share info and don't want to feel like they are being pressured to sign up with a Discount Waiver Company. He comes here to troll for business. We do not since most people here will not pay our fees since I will be the first to say that we have high fees. Btw Capt Buck Rogers, John thinks that you and I are the same people which obviously you know is not true.

So all the people who usually post on the forum are trying to get information, and the following people are insisting the forum get disbanded.

Ken Scott and anonymous people who only started posting when Ken Scott started posting like "Bo". Anyone else see a pattern here?

Captain Buck Rogers who writes exactly like Ken Scott is obviously a fake account set up by Ken Scott or his employee. I say "employee" because its clear its him another guy waiting for the next $5000 client to arrive.

Ken, give honest advice. There is nothing wrong with doing waivers for a living. You don't have to pretend your something your not.

Thomas Atkinson

I have applied for my waiver over 4 months ago,i was wondering if you could check on the status of it for me.
Thank-you

#35 Thomas Atkinson, No one can check the status of a waiver, but you, unless you hired a lawyer, who submitted the G-28 form with your application, then the lawyer can track it. I help my clients with the email that they need to send, but do not do the trace myself. Do you have the email where you need to send trace too?

John Rogers (trusted member) Trusted

@Thomas Atkinson you need to wait 150 days. Then you can email Homeland Security.

Michelle (trusted member) Trusted

#35, Thomas Atkinson, John Rogers is right you should wait the 150 days, I have done tracking sooner, sometimes they will respond, but usually you will just receive a message back stating 150 days waiting time. I keep forgetting it has increased from 90 days.

K SCOTT (trusted member) Trusted

#36 The lawyer will track it the same way as the client. The only difference is that they have a different email address that they use. I agree with John though that it is safe to wait 150 days or so. Plus, the more you check it, the longer it can delay your application.

John Rogers (trusted member) Trusted

Homeland Security will not respond before 150 days and they send out an email telling you that.

Please note, if they email you back after 150 days, and say you are in "secondary security" you will be waiting a year for an answer.
