Actually, there is no such thing as a “US Entry Waiver.” This term is one that has been developed by our competitors or persons not familiar with the professional American immigration system of procedural guidelines.
A Section 212(d) (3) waiver (US Entry Waiver) is a broad waiver of a provision that allows applicants for admission as non-immigrants to overcome almost any ground of inadmissibility found in U.S. immigration law. Some inadmissibility grounds that cannot be overcome by the aforementioned section relate to foreign policy considerations and participation in Nazi persecutions and terrorism.
Of course, it is within the discretion of the Attorney General to grant or deny the waiver. Additional procedures are required for persons who have been deported or overstayed. A relevant U.S. government agency has set forth criteria to be evaluated by the Attorney General in making a discretionary determination under Section 212(d)(3). The aforementioned government agency (per applicable case law) has listed three criteria is listed for determining whether to approve or deny a Section 212(d) (3) waiver:
“The law does not require that such waiver action be limited to exceptional, humanitarian or national interest cases. Thus, while the exercise of discretion and good judgment is essential, generally, applicable U.S. government officers may recommend waivers for any legitimate purpose such as family visits, medical treatment (whether available abroad), business conferences, tourism, etc.” This is probably the #1 most important question in our FAQ’S.
US Entry Waivers come in 6 months to 5 year increments. There have been cases where clients had only received 6 months on their initial waiver. Sometimes, they may come with other restrictions such as registering as a sex offender in the town where you may visit. Section 8 CFR 212.4 (3) (iii), covers the maximum length of time that a Section 212(d) (3) waiver may be valid for. Also, a waiver can be pulled/revoked by C.B.P at the port of entry for reasons that they “deem are valid.”
A Canadian is allowed to visit the USA for up to 6 months(with officer approval). There is also something called “Duration of Status.” This can be a very complex issue for Canadians, so it is better to call us for more info at 1 888 908-3841 or 604 562-8140.
There are multiple reasons why C.B.P can deny your entry to the United States. Virtually all of these reasons can be overcome with whatever relevant method is needed. These methods would be based on C.B.P’s reason for denying your admission.
Currently, the government fee is $1100.00 USD for the I-192 waiver application as of 1 April 2024.
OK, sit down for a minute. It sounds like you went to a “discount waiver company.” Steer clear of these people since they often do shoddy work and then disappear with your money. Also, there is no such thing as “standard or expedited processing.” This is simply a marketing tool that is used by our competitors to get your money. They make you believe that they can expedite the processing with the U.S. government. The individual company may have their own internal policies regarding time periods preparing your case.
However, this “standard/expedited processing” has nothing to do with the U.S. government. Note that if you don’t believe us, you are welcomed to call the border and ask them about “standard or expedited processing.” We will even make the call for you, pass you the telephone and let you ask CBP directly!
If there was such a service, then we would offer it to you! Once your packet is submitted at the port of entry, they submit it to the Admissibly Review Office in Herndon Virginia. Once the ARO receives it, they determine how long they need to adjudicate. Again, there is absolutely no such thing as standard or expedited processing.
We will not offer you the option of “standard or expedited processing,” since such a thing does not exist! We run our platform on brute honesty! Also, sometimes, DHS will write back and ask for further information or clarification on your waiver application (RFE). Sometimes, they may even ask you to submit to a drug assessment by the U.S. immigration panel physician. These RFE’s can be tricky and we will assist you in completing this task.
Monthly payments can be set up and approved at the discretion of the administrator. We will work with someone who needs help and is genuinely short of funds. We will develop a payment plan that is satisfactory to the client and the administrator. We also accept cash, credit cards, money orders and bank cheques. Personal cheques are subject to approval from the administrator. This is another important question in our FAQ’S.
Well…This is a very interesting topic. Some lawyers market a “service” where they say they will “fight” for you at the border. According to CBP policy, lawyers technically cannot “represent” you(or even allowed) at a port of entry(except immigration court removal proceedings).
The CBP officers may or may not even allow the lawyer to stay(except immigration court removal proceedings). Again, minus immigration court removal proceedings, you really don’t need to take a lawyer with you since CBP can clearly “Instruct” him or her to simply sit down and remain silent. CBP can then take you into the back room for further questioning and the lawyer cannot do anything about it. He cannot even accompany you into the back room. So what purpose does he really serve? Actually nothing. Do not fall for lawyers implying or stating that you need them with you at the border.
If you do not believe us, feel free to call the border and ask them if you can bring your lawyer with you to represent you at the border. Their number is (360) 332-8511. As well, not every us immigration lawyer is even competent or knowledgeable in these cases. We have seen our share of bad U.S. Immigration lawyers and consultants in Washington State and Canada! We are steadily updating the list!
Now we will be offering a service in the fall of 2018 where we pick you up and take you to the border and wait with you there. The main purpose is to answer any questions that CBP may ask us in regards to how you packet was prepared. The other purpose is to offer you moral support.
