I currently have a waiver pending and work for an American insurance company. I am supposed to have already boarded and left and this was for me to go for the official opening of a satellite office i am the MGA (Managing General Agent) running this new office with a team of agents who are US citizens that work under me. My waiver was started in November after a trip to Dallas was refused due to criminal inadmissibility for charges from 2013 for possession of marijuana and failure to comply for missing a fingerprinting date, and then a theft under which was withdrawn and a prowl by night charge which was convicted a couple of years after that. I have moved my flight to Tuesday afternoon hopeful that the waiver will be approved Monday, or Tuesday morning but I do want to know who to call about port parole since if I do not make it, they will have to reassign this office to another MGA if possible on short notice, OR outright cancel its opening completely. The executives have sent me emails with letters to use to assist and my character references in the waiver application and my statement are quite compelling according to a lawyer I had read them over before filing on ESAFE. Biometrics were done Monday April 25th, 2022 at Rainbow Bridge, and I am supposed to fly from Toronto. How should I go about pleading for port parole and what is the best way to go about this.
If I do not end up being able to attend 1) I would not have the income coming in to support my family that I have had the last couple of years as I've worked with opening and launching numerous offices for the company since starting there just a few years ago, and
2) my non-resident state life license with the Insurance Council for Nevada was due to expire Jan 1 and they've allowed an extension on this for me due to COVID delays etc while I figure out how I can attend my meeting to renew the license to conduct business and employ the US citizens I currently have employed, and they are not willing to keep waiting.
With both of these reasons what can anyone suggest would be a good course of action for Port Parole to be hopefully considered emergency port parole for just a short number of days (until Sunday 05/07/2022 and it is now 05/01/2022). I am very angry that the company I hired to help with my waiver advised us that the 1st of January the waiver would be in by and we hadn't even received court documents yet at that point which were only 3-4 pages in length but took time to receive. Can I arrive at the airport in Toronto with all my pending waiver documents and letters basically begging from the CEO and agency owner to allow me entry for the purpose of this business trip. I'll be out the majority of my income and the business I've been working to build and develop these agents would be given to someone else otherwise therefore causing me significant hardship as well as the US citizens that work under me, and the fact that I am supposed to be the main speaker at the launch meeting for this office with senior staff from different labor boards that need to hear what we can offer their union members and to sign contracts with us hopefully by the end of it. Without me there...simply put...would be next to impossible to pick someone and prep them/train them on everything with 1 day to spare. Any help would be appreciated or contact info for who I should go to for assistance before just attending the airport or doing nothing and loosing everything.
Thanks in advance
