#1383 and 1384...I agree John, the fingerprint accreditation was strict when we applied. It is even more strict now..the location must have all types of security, including 24 hour cameras. Individuals and company are checked very through, including credit, and taxes, ect. Also, your company must be a Corporation, at least this was a requirement of Morpho at the time I signed on. I also understand that there is a year waiting list of companies waiting to be approved.

1-824 there is a whole thread from back in March called "Lost I-192" where details are given on replacing a lost Waiver, in case anyone needs the information.

I-824's generally are pretty fast. We talked about this before, but of course usually only do it if you have significant time left on a 5 year waiver.

2 weeks is pretty fast, sometimes 30 days is typical.

Fingerprinting. There are three main companies.

Commisionaires, Morpho and Clearneed. Michelle is with Morpho, we are with Clearneed.

You get the same machine, different fee structure depending on the company. My colleague in Montreal is with Morpho and get a much different deal than we do with Clearneed. We were one of the first affiliates with Clearneed (they approached us) so got a great deal.

Its not a very quick process and you and Ben Archer will have to go through a rigorous RCMP screening, including a 4-5 hour interview. Your credit must also be good. Its a lot of overkill as far as I am concerned. BUT I can tell you that the RCMP is VERY thorough. So having a podcast where Ben Archer pretends to be an ex gang member is going to disqualify him.

This is why I am surprised when companies would not have fingerprinting capabilities in this business. When Clearneed opened Morpho and Clearneed were competing to sign up all the available pardon and waiver companies that seemed legitimate because they make money every time fingerprints are taken.

Rule of thumb is either they saw flags, or the persons credit or criminal history prohibited them from being a good candidate. Obviously there are exceptions. But if you have staff in the office, why would you NOT want to get more traffic for fingerprints? We had 17 people come for fingerprints the other day (that is the exception not the rule). Thats 17 people paying us to fingerprint them, and 17 more people who can refer people for Pardons and Waivers.

#1382 We usually have our Canadian slow season between Dec to end of January. I do not know how it will be over here though in terms of seasonal changes. Waiver application processing times for us seems to be 4.5 months for cases in our Less Complex Category and 9 months forward on our Serious Criminality/More Complex Case Category.

#1382 Also, what is a tender? We are seriously looking to do fingerprints late next year. I have to restructure a few things in order for that to happen. Do you know of a good company where we could obtain the equipment? I believe that once you mentioned a company called Morph.

We have an affiliation now with a fingerprint provider that we used for our cases. However, I am thinking that it is time to venture off into this area in the late future. Hence, I want to start doing the groundwork.

If anyone has any questions, they can contact us at 1 888 908-3841 or 604 332-9213. We do resolve all border crossing issues but lately seem to be getting cases in the More Complex category....however, we still do less complex ones too.

I also wanted to add something about the I-824. An I-824 can be used to order a replacement copy of an approved decision on a relevant US Immigration petition that you have filed. In this case, I am talking about a waiver.

Specifically, he did not have a copy of his waiver and wanted to obtain one. I suggested that he wait since his waiver only had about 8 months remaining and he would have to pay the application fee of $465(I-824 fee) and then another $585(us waiver fee) in a few months. He wanted to do it anyway. Now we have to start his next waiver and he will not qualify for a September Letter.

Today, he told me that he received it and that it only took 2 weeks for him to obtain the replacement copy. He also has a Fraud offence and I will wait and see if CBP will ask about payment of restitution. They did not ask about it in the last 2 clients as one client had a conviction for running a credit card Fraud ring in BC.

So I cannot speak for others, but his case only took 2 weeks to get the replacement copy.

Sorry, I am not able to be on here much right now, as my busy season now starts until June, and as I have stated, I am on my own, except for a contract person who helps out when he can...I am also working on tenders for digital fingerprinting services, both for Provincial and Federal Government, which means I will be traveling through the province if I am successful at winning the bids. John and Ken have a great deal of experience and advise. As always, if anyone wants to contact me direct, you can email me at info@fingerprintpardon.com or text 306.531.8886 or call 306.205.2532. Thanks All...

I just want to remind everyone that people come here for answers. Accurate answers.

Look at the things I post. About the Airport. About what i am seeing with regards to waivers for trafficking. My advice is always factual, and I never claim anything other than what i see.

Michelle does the same thing (although she doesn't have the time to post as much) and I have referred local clients to her, because I trust her judgement and I know she does good work for a reasonable price. I have even given her a good review on websites.

Ken is knowledgeable. When he gives good advice I leave it alone. Question asked, question answered.

When he makes "claims" I do not agree with, I explain why. People can decide who is more credible.

I have debunked MANY Of his claims. Read the forum. This last "dispute" started because he referenced the "September Letter" he has displayed. Its fake. My assertion is "you have knowledge, you sell waivers, why pretend you are MORE than that?"

If Ken claimed I posted something fake, I would want to prove it was real, because credibility is everything. He won't. His response is to simply to challenge him in a webcast. I think the fact he does a lot of things that are questionable add up to a lot doubt about his integrity.

I don't want to add drama to anything, but I cannot let someone make false claims without challenging it. People have a right to know the truth.

Notice nothing i just posted was personal. Just explaining the "root" of the problem.

I don't want to "talk shit" or "take away clients" but I will always debunk scams.

The September Letter posted on Kens site is fake.

Should I pretend its real? Or advise people when I see something inaccurate?

Your call Forum.

I come to this forum for information but it seems l get some soap opera drama. So @John and @K Scott please grow up, every business has different experiences and have dealt with different issues with clients.

Please keep off this forum if you want to talk shit about each other and try to take away clients, I'm sure no one wants to hear it

#1376 yes you are correct and I probably should not even respond to the individual. I have asked this individual to refrain as such but to no avail. I will endeavour to refrain from this person as such as I have already asked the person numerous time to discuss this off the forum and on air, on the phone or in person if he has an issue with me.

I will be the bigger person and refrain since it is the more professional approach.

Yup, so for now on I will mostly say to you "THANKS JOHN." When you see that you will know that I just hit print screen and added your post to the binder. This is less effort for me and thanks once again as now I can use #1375 to show people your level of maturity and they will wonder why a person that claims to be a professional business owner will waste time cutting and pasting content in this context and in a nonsensical fashion.....Yet again who does not have the self-confidence to debate/engage me live on air if said person has an issue with our company.

I can show them that this is a possibility of what you may get when you pay someone $449 to do a waiver. People already see that you are lacking in self-confidence, so how do you think that reflects on your work when an alleged professional business owner posts cartoon-like material?
I have already explained to people that this service provider does not take things seriously and give them the option of using a service that does not take the needs of the client seriously.

Also, you inspired me to have a section added to our website about the dangers of discount waiver companies. This and your material can be used by us to facilitate effective business growth. Once again....

THANKS, JOHN

Is it me or does anyone else on this forum find this "infighting" distasteful and immature?

It seems that Michelle (of the "professionals" here) is the only one with the grace to stay out of it.

This isn't a Yahoo comments forum to browbeat and trade insults it's a forum for people to gather information on how best to resolve their respective issues as it pertains to garnering the best course of action to take as it pertains to the being admitted to America.

@KenScott "Please disregard John as he has his own issues of insecurity to deal with. I refuse to engage him."

Then...."Btw John...like I have said before...if you have anything to say, you can say to my face in person when I am in Ontario or can say it to me on the phone. You don't have to punk out and hide behind your keyboard. Say to me off forum or on my Youtube or Radio show. Stop trying to use the forum as a political football.

Debate me on air so everyone can hear. Be a man and stop cowering in the shadows. I have called you out many times to go on-air for everyone to hear and you still refuse to engage other than this place which is for waiver advice only.

Give me a date, time and I will make the airtime happen. Also answer the questions about what I asked in terms are you willing to offer refunds or just want to try to work on renewals?

I will retract the question about obtaining September Letters for people since you don't have a clue on how to get them on complex or even less complex cases.

Also just to show how sharp you are....I have already told you that everytime you put up a bashing comment, we print it off and they go into the binder...so if a client asks(although rare) why should they use us, I give a variety of reasons but one big one is that I explain that we have a lot of hater competitors and show the binder of you and the others...

Unfortunately for us, competitors have caught on and not putting them up as much now since it is free advertising for us...You however...keep fresh ones coming in so I am dependent on you to continue with them so the dates in the binder don't go stale. Again, thank you for your assistance as the one today is a nice one for the binder. :)"

LOL. Thats Ken "refusing to engage me".

Welcome Hollywood. Please disregard John as he has his own issues of insecurity to deal with. I refuse to engage him.

Michelle is very nice and experienced. John runs a Discount Waiver Company and apparently may have low self-esteem issues and in fantasy land. He has limited knowledge in the waiver industry and is someone to not take seriously...as I have learned here. He is, however, a very mellow fellow, grounded and actually works as a Utilities Consultant as waivers are his side business.

My fees are high Hollywood and we are known in Surrey BC and England. I would like to

Feel free to check out our site and perhaps we can make contact. So the 3 of us welcome you and your expert knowledge.

@1372, First I would like to welcome you to the forum. It is always nice to find another expert in this field. However, I am curious about your statement "I ain't cheap for doing waivers like John or Ken, Michelle, etc" What does this mean? My fees are not cheap, as many people tell me, and in the economy of Saskatchewan, where I do 90% of my business, $700 + taxes, plus all USA Custom fees can add up to quite a bit of money. My fee is the same for renewals also, as it is a new application requiring all the same work. No, I do not charge thousands of dollars, but in most cases, an individual does not need to spend that kind of money. Now, there are some clients who are chasing the September letter, or have extremely difficult cases and need to spend thousands of dollars, great, maybe those are your type of clients. As I have stated on here before, Ken, John and I offer a different type of waiver service and specialize in some type of expertise. Anyone who is interested in hiring a waiver services, should find out what they do, what costs are involved, and what is the price the client can afford. Many of my clients will not pay thousands for a September Letter. They are happy to pay $1500 every 5 years. So while I have no problems in how you run your business or what you charge, please do not start comparing us as a lower value then yourself.

@Hollywood. Welcome to the forum. Do you want to give an idea what you charge? Can you give us a bit more detail? Office address or website?

@KenScott I know what a client is going to get before I start the process. I warn them if I do not think the Waiver will work. I re-do the waiver for free if it is not successful.

I get many more September Letters than you because I handle many more cases than you. Remember on a past Forum I did the math on your claims? You claimed you did 10 000 cases and I debunked that like a bunch of your other claims, because that would mean at your rates you would be sitting on 21 million dollars. Your not sitting on 21 million dollars, that's clear.

Your an accomplished con artist, which is why your constantly "doing something new". I am beginning to suspect you don't fingerprint because you cannot pass the rigorous RCMP vetting.

Perfect example "Mr Ben Archer" who pretends to be a gangster on your podcasts (you can't find a real gang member?) and posts in here and pretends he is a fawning client of yours. (Not the most recent "Niceguy" who is actually a real client for once). Your a 2 man team pretending your some big organization. Why pretend?

When you have to constantly reinvent the way you do things, offer "now we are doing this" and "now we will refund your fee" and "now we are trying to open an office in England" your not the picture of stability.

Remember the "office you were opening" in Mississauga? What about "partnering with strategic partners" all around me? How embarrassing when you mention MY company as one of your "partners"?

My favorite is still you calling me drunk from England on Whatsapp...by far the most hilarious threatening phone call ever. You were trying to be menacing but you don't really have the voice for it, so it kind of came off as sketch comedy. Like an effeminate Monty Python. Being drunk and sitting in a pub didn't help.

I am new to this forum, I do waivers based out of Vancouver, BC (lower mainland).... heck if you don't believe me I can show you my own personal waiver when we meet in person, if you want to get one done and see what they stamp in your passport to cross etc.

Looks like I might be in the right business to offer my services. I ain't cheap for doing waivers like John or Ken, Michelle, etc...... I just post a flat rate (which at times can be expensive due to the extent on each individual case) even if it means I must hold your hand at the border also, but you don't go to McDonald's either and ask for a big mac and pay for a mcdouble, it just doesn't work that way. At least I can show you my "own personal" one for someone who is a skeptic or having trouble with the forms or believing someone who does it for a living, yada yada yada. September letters do exist, met a guy once from Victoria who ended up getting one and we went down to Seattle to watch the Mariners & Seahawks game one year a few years back. They do exist, but hard to get IMO.

He has since moved to the east coast and we rarely keep in touch.

But I am just putting it out there, if you need assurances come and talk to me....I don't do refunds, or charge extra for renewals that's other peoples stuff.... every waiver is a new application plain and simple so I have my flat rate charge which depends on your case....I have a waiver and nothing to hide about my past, and I renew every few years for the past 15 years and the more issues on your criminal record, the harder it is to put a bullet proof case together for DHS, but not entirely impossible.

I don't run a waiver company. I am just someone who has a criminal record who's had experiences in dealing with getting waivers, I've done many waivers for friends and their family members and nothing like the freedom to travel without complications.

If you'd like we can do a Skype call...and it's free anyways for a consultation. If you want to retain my services that's up to you.

But it's probably best to see what Ken, Michelle & John charges first to do your waiver for you, that is my advice.

John....you have still not answered the prior question posted.

1. Will you agree to 100% refunds?
2. Will you try to get September Letters for people?

Why do you keep dodging these 2 questions? Will you agree to match me in these things offered? Also, you have no idea how many"impossible" cases we have cleared. You only know what I choose to disclose to you. If you really knew, then your jaw would hit the floor. So whatever deal I may make with clients is actually none of your business. Nor are your attempts to use psychology on people here are working.

You keep talking things as such but never have you either offered to purposely try to get people cleared for life(although I know that you don't know how) or give refunds on cases that are denied. Your credibility has been lessened by continually trying to bash me and double talking about the refund issue. Bashing me does not serve your best interest as I have already said that I have included it in our binder.

SO ARE YOU GOING TO OFFER A REFUND POLICY OR NOT? ARE YOU GOING TO TRY AND GET PEOPLE CLEARED FOR LIFE OR NOT? It is not rocket science and it is just a yes or no question. If you said no then that will tell people that you are only interested in renewal business and do not have the person's best interest at heart.

Only offering to do a new case if denied is just a cop-out....which means you still get to keep the fee and provide shoddy service. We very rarely get denials, so this is the reason why we have implemented this policy on new clients starting Jan 2019...and on September Letter Cases now.
You talk about ethics....but is it indeed ethical to continually charge a person for renewals if you know that the person does not need a waiver or can get cleared for life? If you do not know if a person needs a waiver or not, then why are you in the business?

Also, you have no idea what I am doing as I am not required to report to you daily. So whatever you think you may know...It is your own choice as I am not telling you anything.

Btw there are other people here that I am helping/helped. So I do not know why you care?

Anyway, I will not bash you as I just endeavour to remain professional and I just ask that you keep the focus of the forum on professional cases as opposed to showing an unrequited interest in me.

@KenScott I get September Letters as well, but its an added bonus to a Waiver application. We charge a reasonable price, and clients get EXACTLY what I tell them they will get. We don't "pretend" to get something and say a waiver is a consolation. Again, if you did, there would be no need for the fake September Letter on your website.

In the case of the two clients, you told them "you won't need a waiver anymore!" and they got 1 year waivers. Not ethical..you are right.

As for the person you are helping, I am hoping he is successful, because I do feel bad about the circumstances he is in. I told him I did not think he would get the waiver, gave him my reasons and told him to wait.

You have offered to help him and refund his fee if he does not get a waiver, but what about his time, the $585 USD, the Doctors fees (in the thousands) he will pay...and yes, you give him YOUR fee back, thats great, but what about THESE OTHER FEES? He will be sent to a Panel Doctor for sure. So your fee is a nice consolation, but if a panel doctor gives a bad report...there is no erasing that.

I know why you are doing it, its a "hail mary" so you can tout how you won the impossible case. Its nice you gave him hope, but its all about you, we both know that.

He is a really nice guy, so I do hope it goes well for him. He deserves a second chance.

Please be careful, so if/when you don't succeed, I can still fix it in a couple of years when Trump is gone.

Thank you for your support and I am a man of my word. As a result, I had a few others ring me up over the weekend on their cases and I gave my blunt but honest opinion. People that have spoken to me on the phone realise that the way I write here is the same way that I am in person or on the phone. Apparently, people appreciate blunt honesty as I have an unfiltered mouth..lol

One person has a desire to work in the USA and I gave my opinion and recommendation as such.

I made some new career decisions over the weekend and they will be fully implemented upon my arrival home. Mr. Ben Archer will eventually take over running The United Kingdom locations. These decisions will provide for an even greater expansion on how we can help people not get their border crossing issues resolved..but also get cleared to live legally in the USA or invest if they so desire.

#1367 Your case is very complex and will be a training tool for Mr. Ben Archer(who is in my YouTube Videos) as I personally will be preparing it and training him as such. He has 30 plus years of experience in obtaining USA Investor and business visas. The purpose of training him is that he will be well versed in border crossing issues and investment visas....which will tie into a career path extension that I am planning.

Anyone can check us out on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. If you type in US Entry Waiver Services on these 3 platforms, you will see that we come up as the #1 hit.

I am the Nice guy that Ken Mentioned in the thread. Ken spent over 2 hours with me in a telephone consultation and provided me with his game plan on a my case, which is very complex. He gave me many fresh new ideas on how to tackle this case and gave me a 100 percent guarantee i would get a waiver or my money back. Please Give Ken a call if you feel your case is hopeless, he will give you a great strategy to get you approved!!!!
