So the new form is required no matter the offence?
And I noticed the new form isn't needed until late June/2019 (June 28th I believe) is that correct?
Technically one can use the old form up until that date I'm going to surmise. Do you anticipate any issues using the old form until then?
Thanks for your input.
@Adelaide no I think you are safe using the old one until June 28. In truth, if you are just filling out your OWN I-192 vs me filling out multiple ones, then I don't think it will be much of an issue for you. Its not "difficult" to fill out, just more time consuming.
Time update everyone.
Most of the waivers are now coming in at 40-80 days. Its very fast for those who are NOT in secondary security. 40 days was a female re-applicant, and 61 days yesterday was a first time applicant. Both came in this week.
Thanks.
Does anyone know how I would go about this. I cannot get a straight answer or specific actions to take from anyone.

I’m over 11 months now since my application. No answer to my email inquiry either. Is there anything that you could do to help? It would be helpful to at least get an answer to my inquiry

Thanks for the reply.
If I send you my documents and wish for you to do my waiver for me will you be using the new form or the old form? I'm hoping to be starting the process within the next 5-6 weeks.
Does the new form just ask for more biographic information which could possibly trip certain people up? I'm guessing your professional "eye" would come in handy in discerning what form would best suit a waiver applicant BEFORE there is no choice and one just has to use the new form post June, 28/2019 regardless.
And do you anticipate that CBP won't accept the old form even if it is presented to them before June 28th?
Using your expertise do you see a vast difference in how the old form could be better for some applicants since it's not asking for more information on them? (I'm surmising that's the crux of this new form)
In all honesty I haven't read the new form but just from perusing the forum here I understand it seems to ask for more extensive information (which could be a negative for some people I'm sure).
@Adelaide in the next two weeks I will stop using the old form entirely. I don't think Homeland Security is trying to hinder anyone, they are just looking for more information to vet people and I am guessing since they use the G325-A for a lot of applications, they just want more specific information for the I-192.
Don't be concerned. Same waiver, just a different form.
@HurricaneDave that is strange. Send me an email and ill send you the template I use. Start it from scratch, don't cut and paste. Also lets verify the email you are using was the one on the forms you submitted and that you are submitting it to the right email address.
pardon.experts@rogers.com Just remind me HurricaneDave when you email me.
@Dustin sorry, what direct action do you mean? Is it similar to HurricanDave?
John,
My latest email to get an answer on the decision letter was not replied. They said they mailed it but I did not get it.
I don’t know how to get info or how to apply for a replacement.
Question is what do I do now?
@Dustin can you forward me the email they sent you? Sounds like you have to apply for a replacement. pardon.experts@rogers.com
One of my very first clients handed in his Waiver at the Rainbow Bridge on March 21 and got it on Tuesday, so about 8 weeks total.
He has an old criminal record, nothing very serious.
I am still telling people "90 days or less" but for waivers that are being approved without secondary security, 60 days seems the "normal time" right now.
This is not a question about a waiver but this is a recommendation. I did not get asked to make this message so please do not go after John. I do want to make any one that is banned or that was refused entry into the US aware that if you are looking for help with a waiver and do not know who to trust. Please go to John Rogers. Especially if your are located in the GTA area. I was completely fooled by a company called pardons applications of Canada. I was very eager to get back into the states and my application got denied. I tried to apply right after being banned. I have been following this forum for quite some time since my first application got denied (for obviously applying too soon) and have bothered the shit out of John for my particular situation (i bothered him for almost 2 years lol). He could have taken my money and done a waiver for me but he highly suggested that I wait and not apply yet. Fast forward to today. John has prepared my waiver and I will be dropping it off next week. For my particular situation another person on this forum was granted a waiver after waiting 4years. I am very confident in John’s work that I had to point this out, for there are alot of people that take your money already knowing that u don't have a chance. John is very knowledgeable about waivers and I’m in complete shock at how well his work is. There’s nothing that he could have done better, this waiver he put together for me was done flawlessly.
I seldom get clients as motivated as you are to do anything to make the waiver work. You have worked hard to prepare, and provide the "raw material" to give yourself the best shot at getting a positive result. If the waiver is approved, you deserve a lot of the credit as well.
I will always try and be as honest as possible about a persons chances and if they should try for a waiver. But once the client decides they want to try, my goal becomes 100% giving them the best chance of success.
@AshleyBanks, thank you for the kind words.
No problem John thanks again !
Received 5 Year Waiver. Applied March 27/2019 and received it in the mail May 17/2019. Applied at Buffalo, Lewiston Point of Entry. Very fast turnaround time. Good luck to everyone out there!!
@Sha - was this a first time or renewal?

May I ask what you needed a waiver for and how long was your ban for?
Just curious.
This is my second waiver. The first one I received was for one year and the second one I just applied is for 5 years. Did the application myself. I hope this helps!!
Hi. I was asked for additional information, a letter and another RCMP criminal record which has now been completed. Any idea what my wait time will now be? I submitted my application in February and it was 3 months later they requested this information.
