Yes, once the the year has passed and you are fingerprinted, that will give your situation a lot of clarity.

@1680, Irvin, I would love to see your court documents, as this does not make sense to me..but as I stated stranger things have happened.. When I was at Edmonton Police, we too had guidelines before we would even approve our portion of a file destruction..and I did one for a fellow who had a peace bond out of Surrey BC and it was refused due to not enough time..they made him wait 3 years...so you never know...
Hi @john just a quick question it’s been 4 weeks since I applied for i84 should I email them? I don’t want to lose the mail again..thanks
@Ferry you can try. I am not sure if they will respond on that email.
Have anyone of you had to to a waiver for an absolute discharge? During the period of the discharge and even afterwords, because an fps was still there as the file was not destroyed, the rcmps web site states they won’t remove the peacebond for 5 years for a sexual offence such as voyeurism so file destruction doesn’t seem possible, I do need to enter the states for training, wish is was more clear, some places say they don’t see absolute discharges as convictions like they do for conditional discharges even for crimes of moral turpitude,
@Irvin88 thats a tough one.
1.) you can do your fingerprints (discharge removed) and hope that Homeland Security does not see the Peacebond
2.) Travel and hope for the best (they don't catch everyone every time obviously)
3.) Do a waiver. The circumstances really matter in this case and if you go this route I am willing to help you out. But if not me, get some help, this is not an easy personal letter and it has to be done by someone objective, who can put themselves in the Homeland Security officers mindset when it is written.
These are the only options I see for you. I don't think this will be a "fast" waiver due to the nature of the offence. An answer could take up to a year despite the lenient sentence.
New I-192 Forms....thankfully the fees did not increase...John, I think it replaces G-325 too, what do you think?
https://www.uscis.gov/i-192?utm_source=rss-feed&utm_campaign=Forms%20Updates
@Michelle it looks to me like they have simply copied the I-212 format. (more work for us)
The reason I don't think it will replace the G-325a (I am speculating here) is that the G325A is done with 4 copies and also filed in 2 additional places, where the I-192 is only filed and kept where its filed and sent to Herndon.
So, although many of the questions are now redundant, (parents info, marital status) I think they already have a method in place for filing the G325-a which is filed with almost every application.
My suggestion would be to still do the same 2 - I-192's and 4 G325-a's until we get a resounding consensus that is absolutely not needed.
Important to not that the old one sill only be taken until June 28 2019, so for me, I have to make sure everyone who has packages gets them handed in soon or I will have to replace them. Obviously as of today, I will only be using the new form.
As for the fee, these WERE increased, (and can only be increased further by the Senate I believe) but Canadians got that exemption. So we have to keep alert for any news of that 'exemption' being lifted, but I do not think that will be for a while. $585 it is.
Hi John, I was thinking the same thing, I will continue to do the G-325 until further notice..and yes, more work for us...Thanks!
@Michelle tried to use the form for the first time today. I download a copy and fill in MY information, and then save that version. So I tried filling out the rest of it, and found the address doesn't seem to properly save.
When you try filling one out, let me know your impressions. It kept asking me for a zip code, even though I was using a Canadian address, and when I finally just put in 00000 to shut it up but then it said "USA".
Frustrating. Anyone else try to use the new I-192? Thoughts? Its now 11 pages.
Can you add a link to the new forms?
Hi John, I have not tried new form yet, but will work on it today...I had trouble with the last update, I had to use an older version of google to even get it to open...so not surprised there are problems with this form. I think they have some security features on these..as when I try to open them, my computer always says verifying secure location? I will keep you posted.
#1691 ron.hill..please see my post #1687...link is there...Thanks!
@Michelle new form.
Where is says "5 years of addresses" when you put in Canada it seems to screw up the form. If that is the case leave Canada blank and the rest seems to work.
#1688
How is the new form different (specifically) from the old form? Are they asking for more extensive information about the applicant?
And is this new form needed just for applying for a waiver for a simple overstay?
@Adelaide the new form is 11 pages, the old one was 8. Mainly they have started asking the same information that is already contained in the G325-A and it is taking some getting used to, in terms of doubling the time it takes to fill one out typically.
For a person doing it on their own, mainly an inconvenience. For me and Michelle, it absolutely at least doubles the time to fill out forms.
Not to mention some bugs within the fillible form, and its frustrating.
Must have been made by a socialist! Longer form means putting more people to work!
I applied for a waiver and followed up using the email for an update. I was told that they mailed out a decision letter many months prior but I never received it. I asked them to resend and they said they would. However I have yet to receive the letter. Waiting over 6 months. Does anyone know what I should do now?
When I email them explaining this I no longer get a reply.
Has anyone dealt with this situation and know what I should do?
Thanks
@John Rogers, oh my, the new form is terrible!!!!..took me almost 1/2 hour to complete..and yes, the "bugs" do not help. I feel sorry for anyone without experience tackling this form. (mind you might be easier as they are not programmed like me from the previous forms)...
@Dustin if it was regular mail it was probably an approval. The key now is to find out if a waiver was granted and for how long to see whether you should pay for a replacement certificate. If it was a denial it was probably sent registered mail.
