I-192 Requirements

My process (ignore the documents that are not applicable)

-i-192
-G325a
-past waiver
-RCMP check
-Court documents
-Personal letter
-proof of Citizenship
-drug test/letter form dr
-proof of employment
-proof of residence
-2 reference letters

After the first 6 though, which are common sense, I don't think it matters TOO much what order the documents are in.

Sometimes we have to add in other things to a waiver packet depending on the case specifics. We don't use the cookie cutter approach since we tailor each waiver case to the individual. I do agree that is kind of do does not matter what order the documents are in. The key is to include relevant material that will help your case.

It is a bit hard to generalise since I do not know your conviction or case specifics. An example is that you could have a Fraud over $5000 conviction in Jan 2018 and are applying for a waiver now....which would be foolish since you will definitely get denied for sure...So the proper order would be a moot point since there are other factors in place here.

@willnope yes.

I have a colleague in Montreal who can help you with this.

I will just place this here.

Christmas is here and I will be in and out of the office. Best way to reach me is:

Cell: 416-843-1371

Feel free to text or call. John Rogers is my real name.

If you need to email me during the holidays:

pardonguy2@gmail.com

Work Email is still pardon.experts@rogers.com but I won't see that unless I am at work.

Life and Waivers don't stop during the holidays, so please don't be shy about calling or texting if you have a question. Questions placed on the Forum I tend to only answer at work, so my responses here will be slow during the holidays.

Everyone please have a safe and happy holiday, and a Merry Christmas!!!

Hi, All, Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas, and a Safe New Year. Enjoy the holidays and your celebrations whatever they may be. Michelle @ FPS Fingerprint Pardon Services.

@Joe P

You can get a free copy of your pardon from the Parole Board. 1-800-874-2652

If you don't have a copy of your previous waiver, then don't worry about it.

"Where would I get my certified criminal chq from Ont?" Are you referring to court documents?

Your in Calgary, so I would call Michelle for whats needed at that Airport. If you have a pardon, you need to show the previous record because your fingerprints come up "blank."

You can do a second set of fingerprints under the privacy act (Michelle prefers this method) or get a copy of your pardon and put it in the package.

"On the Homeland site there is no mention of this".

I think everyone needs to remember the following. Homeland Security does not care if your waiver is GRANTED. They also will do NO work on your behalf to look up ANYTHING.

If you don't want to look through this site where there are NUMEROUS pages and posts about what to include, do not do your own waiver. Seriously. If you do not have the time to actually READ all the free information that is here, you don't have the time to actually DO the waiver. Pay someone and get a 5 year waiver.

There is no "oh he gave a half assed effort so lets give him 5 years" waivers. You will get a letter asking you for more info, delay the waiver and if the letter never gets to you the file gets closed. Do the research here, and put in the effort and attention to detail. Or just let someone else do that FOR YOU. If you do it yourself and get a 1 year waiver, you saved NOTHING.

Here is the link. A bit confusing.

#54 @John Rogers

Can you summarize what this may mean?

@John Rogers, is the USA still asking for reference letters, employment letter or income tax with applications? I sent someone to drop off application on June 28 and they were still asking for this with the new forms, but now that July 1 has come, not sure?

In response to the e-safe electronic filing, not sure how this going to work with some of my very old school clients, and if they have to go down anyways to do fingerprints might as well drop off paperwork. Do you think we the representative can submit for clients without doing a G-28 form?

@Michelle it says all those requirements are still needed and that this is a pilot project. You can still file the normal way.

Hi John, in reference to your comment in 52; can you provide the link. I tried to find on Google, and cannot find the electronic form. Thanks! Michelle

@Angus I will let others answer since I don't have enough Alberta clients to know Calgary and Edmonton Airport requirements. It seems 3 letters of reference vs the two we require are needed. I add proof of residence. Proof of Canadian Citizenship (not sure if it was on there)

I will say that ALL waivers end up in Herndon Va. Make sure your personal letter is a GOOD ONE. For complicated cases reference the points in Hranka to respond to any attempt at rejecting the waiver. If you have sexually based offences (sexual assault to ANY degree) I am finding you are wasting your time right now. Even past waiver clients are getting rejected.

Trafficking is a tough one right now. If you had a 5 year waiver before and this offence is on it and you simply submit the last letter you wrote, you will get rejected. You have to talk about rehabilitation and also prove you have an understanding of how drugs impact society and your community. Don't half ass these letters and expect a good response.

@Michelle? Requirements for Calgary and Edmonton?
