Waiver application processing times

@kimberly
Ok will do . Thank you

Samuel
I got a 3 year ban after 6 months overstayed

Applied 6 months after the ban
Received waiver 13 months later

After the 3 year ban, surely a waiver would no longer be needed?

She said that she applied 6 months after leaving the US, and 13 months after, she got the waiver.

That's 18 months, and there are still about 18 months left in the ban.

I mean, 6 + 13 is 19. Sorry.

Yeah, that's true. Canadians, even with unblemished record, do not have the right to enter the US (or any other country really). CBP has the right to reject entry anyone who is not a US citizen. Only US citizenz have unqualified right to enter the United States.

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for sharing. Do you know under what basis they were refused entry? CBP refuses entry to Canadians all the time, even those without any immigration or criminal issues.

The ban would make them inadmissible, and after the ban is over, they would no longer be inadmissible under the same inadmissibility, but CBP for sure would scrutinize them more due to the history of overstay.

So what happened to these clients after they have applied for waivers?

I myself have a ten year bar (8 of which havr been served), but due to removal. My 272 waiver was approved and I was able to enter just fine, but I guess I'd never know whether or not I would have been able to enter without waiver if I never applied.

applied april 23 at YWG ( I-192). emailed today and received an auto response:

This email address is for questions regarding the status of applications on file with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Admissibility Review Office (ARO). The ARO is responsible for the following applications: Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as Nonimmigrant, Form I-212, Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal, and Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition. Please note the ARO will respond to inquiries on the latter form only in those instances where the action is related to obtaining a duplicate approval notice for a Form I-192 or I-212.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Every request for application status must contain the date the application was submitted to CBP. You will receive a follow-up e-mail to your inquiry if you provide this information and your application has been on file with CBP for a minimum of 150-days.

We find this a bit confusing. the instruction sheet says to ask after 90 days ( for submissions to ARO which is what we have done) and that admissions to CBP is 150 days which is indicated in the Important Note part of the auto reply. I read this as 2 separate entities? is that correct?

The waiver from 5 years ago was received before the 90 days was up so we havent had to check on a waiver. ( or been quite so nervous about it being delayed!)

The instruction sheet was dated late 2016, whereas the CBP page on I-192 was updated on May 2018, so if we go with the most recently updated information, it's 150 days after filing date.

1989- Driving with more than 80 mgs of alcohol, driving while disqualified ( prohibted driving 3 months)
1990- obstruct peace officer, posession of a weapon ( Fine and probation)
1997- driving with more than 80 mgs of alcohol. (3 mos nad prohibited driving)

all fines paid
4th waiver

however we wont know if we are in secondary until after 150 days has passed... Or are we in secondary because we received the auto response? thanks for your info so far!
