US ENTRY WAIVER

A us entry waiver form I-192 and supplements must be filed either electronically using E-Safe, or in person at select U.S. Borders. Either way, C.B.P. will collect the fee, take your fingerprints and review the application. Always bring your Canadian passport when you come to the border. You are also required to submit specific supporting documents with your application. C.B.P. will refuse to accept your application if it is missing specific documents. Currently, the government fee is $585usd and it must always be paid per application. However, please note that some waiver applications have a USA govt fee of 930usd.

The Admissibility Review Office (“A.R.O.”).

The A.R.O., which is located in Arlington, Virginia, is part of C.B.P. Since 2007, it has been the sole agency charged with adjudicating waiver applications.

The D.H.S. changed the location from where they had been formerly adjudicated(Sweetgrass Montana).

Specifically, there had been numerous internal adjudication problems at that particular border with the cases. The A.R.O. has the discretion to grant or deny your waiver application. They must adjudicate your application pursuant to specific legal guidelines and the Board of Immigration Appeals case: Matter of Hranka (April 6, 1978).

In that case, the B.I.A. set forth three (3) factors that must be weighed together in deciding whether or not to grant a us entry waiver application:

In order to present the strongest us entry waiver case, our Immigration Law Intelligence Analysts have put together a comprehensive application package using our own specially designed checklist. It is always our job to prepare and make the best possible case presentation to CBP based on your specific circumstances. You will note that not every waiver case is the same. Specifically, each case is prepared/tailored to your individual needs. 

An example is that a case for Sexual Assault is prepared/approached differently, as opposed to one like an Armed Robbery. CBP will use differing adjudication standards per the criminal conviction(s). The showing of certain rehabilitative techniques is critical in whatever border crossing us entry waiver case that is presented to CBP. There are also other critical factors that have to be addressed in waiver cases.

Discount Waiver Companies don’t understand this and usually prepare every case the same exact way. We feel that this is foolish since it only hurts the success of your case. Obviously, CBP will look at a case like Child Molestation differently as opposed to something like stealing a Chocolate Bar from London Drugs. You also waste your money doing it this way since you pay with your hard-earned dollars in this challenging economy.

We are different because we prepare an actual waiver presentation case to CBP for your us entry waiver case. We are also different because we used to enforce these same federal and state laws when we formerly worked as law enforcement officers for the American system in a federal and state law enforcement capacity. We may add certain case-specific supplements that will strengthen your case. We want to ensure that you are always approved for either a Permanent Clearance or 5 Year Waiver. 

We also get an inside perspective on waiver cases from our associates/affiliates that have formerly worked for CBP and other USA government agencies. Our job is to also aggressively work for you on your behalf to ensure that you are the winner. We only work for you and not CBP. A US Entry waiver application does have specific criteria that will have to be met before it is issued by CBP. There are some factors that will increase or decrease your chances of being approved.
