Got your I-194?

Reply here with how long it took. Months, weeks, days...

Sorry bro but I not gonna engage with you...Although I guess I am by writing this post ..lol Btw please send me an email with a link to what they are saying about me..lol as I need to add it to my collection. Of course, if they knew how to get them on complex cases then it would be ok right?? Since really no one really knows 100% how to get them(other than us apparently), then it is "unethical."...lol Essentially, they have to just take a number and stand in line as we/I have a tremendous amount of jealous haters out there and you are actually #3 in line..lol I really want to add it to my collection.

Btw thanks for the compliment as we are definitely becoming famous online and the insecurities of competitors really shows now.

Regarding my alleged 2 prior cases...Even you had to make a point that you allegedly have 2 of them. Well if you do, then good for you. It gives you the proper bragging rights as I have now printed and posted your comment in the book along with your other ones from the past where you constantly like to focus on/ have a strange interest in me for some reason ..lol We actually use these to help promote the business and it surprisingly works.

Anyway, here is the rundown of competitors that don't fancy us and either spoke of or mentioned us on their websites:
:
1. A certain legal professional that I know
2. Discount Waiver Company that you mentioned
3. You
4. A Discount Waiver Company owner past Ontario going East
5. The husband of Michelle's former boss
6. The Alberta woman in the business

Once again John you just helped me improve business and did not realise it. We keep a list of online comments from competitors...so when people come in and the few that have asked what makes us so different...I just pull out the book and show the comments from jealous competitors.

Please send me as I could not find it...Btw John...when did I ever say that I was "ethical?"..lol We get the job done and 99.9% of the people only care that they get the results that they want. What a news flash...K Scott is not ethical...It is just like saying that there is water in the Pacific Ocean...lol

So when someone has a border crossing issue/case(complex or not), and they want to see if they can possibly get a lifetime clearance or it is a special one like NO DUMMY's and it needs special care and a 100% chance for success...BETTER CALL SAUL aka Ken..lol.

Btw the way Brotha...I guess the truth does hurt as you don't like hearing it...lol

Also, the thing is that everything we say, we can show people where it is listed in the government regulations, immigration code, 18USC, and other relevant government databases and manuals that we have at our disposal. So it is not our info as it is what is already out there for public record. :)

:: @K SCOTT added on 28 Sep ’18 · 18:00

Also John...I don't see you offering to try to get September Letters or a 100% money back guarantee if the case is not successful....Things that make you go hmmm.

K SCOTT replied 5 years ago   #1342

@Ken Scott. I have 2 of your past waiver applications and I dissected them in this forum.

Anyways, if you told the truth all the time, we would not have this difference of opinion.

Good luck in your future endeavors. I do hope your investor visa business takes off, then we can stop your extraordinary claims. Did you know AllClear referenced you in their waiver page? "A unethical B.C. Company promising September Letters". Look! Your famous! Or maybe notorious is a better word.

John Rogers replied 5 years ago   #1341

Well, John I really do not need your opinion but thank you for your input. Nor do I need you to validate my status regarding being reputable as that I did not know that you were the licencing authority.

Regarding our September Letters, you can try to use psychology as much as you wish on the people here. You already know or should know that there is nothing fake about us and this includes our documents and achievements. There is no need to do as such since we produce quality work. No one is really believing you as I have discovered by the personal contact calls that I have been receiving from nice people here. I had actually forgotten about the forum until I was reminded yesterday by forum members calling me and asking what had happened to me.

So I respectfully state that your validation is not required nor desired.

Anyway, I choose not to engage with you beyond this post as it is irrelevant to us as to how you feel since we are not in the business to boost your self-esteem.

You still avoided answering my prior question when I believe that I asked if you were also willing to try and get people cleared for life or are you mostly just interested in repeat business.

Anyway, good luck with your business and I hope that you do well and get busy.

K SCOTT replied 5 years ago   #1340

@Ken Scott, please remove his name, show his record for Theft Under and show his September Letter. Then you can take down that other one that is obviously not real.

Voila! You are reputable again. (once you take down the fake one and put up the real one)

As for the "refunds" and all that....that's great. I don't see why you need all the gimmicks though. Every month you have a new "promotion" or "we are trying this now".

Good luck on the investor Visas. Hope it works out for you.

John Rogers replied 5 years ago   #1339

I also want to thank you guys for thinking about our business and for all the calls we get from the forum. We got one today from a nice person that has a very complex case. We also got a case from an individual on here by the name of NO DUMMY. I cannot go into details but it and the referrals that he has sent has also contributed to us not being as available here.

Finally, last night I was contacted by a BC very high profile individual client. He told me that he got a waiver and I celebrated and almost fainted. It is painful for me not to be able to put his name as a testimonial as he is on Google. His case made news in Canada a certain amount of time ago and I will ask him if I can somehow mention his case on our site.

He is now listed as a V.I.P client and will never have to pay for another waiver case again as he qualifies for a lifetime of free us entry waivers from us. This is done as we are honoured to just have him aboard.

Btw if someone has a conviction for stealing a $200 worth of chocolate bars, then we can for sure get him a lifetime clearance where he would not need a waiver again. This will be based on certain criteria. Point is that we have had shoplifters get lifetime clearances...depending on the circumstances of the cases.

An example is that we had a guy steal $250 worth of meat from SAV ON FOODS in Surrey and he got a lifetime clearance. He also had other offences too. So yes it is possible sometimes to get people lifetime clearances...depending on the specific case circumstances.

K SCOTT replied 5 years ago   #1338

#1358 Sorry I have not been in the loop for a bit based on post #1360. So what exactly is your criminal conviction? Sometimes we can indeed use the Petty Offence defence but it will depend on a few factors.

Also, you are going through the embassy for a waiver? This is what our London and Kingston Upon Hull locations focus on. The embassy in London will look at a B1/B2 case to see if the visa will be approved. If they feel that it will not, then have the option of offering you the chance to apply for the waiver. It is up to the embassy officer.

ALso #1358 let me give you a scenario:

You go to a Discount Waiver Company to apply for a waiver. They somewhat prepare the packet and you file at the border. You then get a waiver. You then also go back to the same company and they get you a 2nd waiver.

Now fast forward 10 years later and you come to us. I tell you that you did not need a waiver and that you would have qualified for a September letter or getting cleared locally at the border(which they have done for some of our people before). The part that will hurt you is that you already had 2 waivers approved and the service has the opinion that "If you did not think you needed a waiver, then why did you apply for one 10 years ago."

So it is like a Salmon swimming upstream against the current now. It is possible but a lot more work for sure. In your case, you applied for your own waiver and now the precedent has already been set.

Also, a lot of DWC's don't seem to understand or care that under the immigration code, criminal inadmissibility is not just under the conviction category only. You could declare yourself inadmissible by stating certain information(verbally or in writing) that is not in any database. Hence, putting non-positive information in a packet that is not initially in any database.

In our case, we already have this area covered....so that this will not become an issue. #1358, I hope that this covered your question. If not, then please let me know and we will sort it out for you.

K SCOTT replied 5 years ago   #1337

#1359. This is not necessarily true John. Also, see the post below:

Sorry for being out of the loop everyone. I ran into a situation here with the new cases. However, it will tie into our Canadian locations in a positive way. When we started these B1/B2 visa waiver cases here, we assumed that we would get maybe 2 a months.

As it turned out....I did not realise how popular it is for people here to want to travel and invest into the USA. We have been getting 5-6 a week and actually have trouble keeping up with the flow now. It has taken time away from the forum based on this and running the Canadian locations.

Now, having said that....We now have a policy where we will give a 100% refund on every September Letter case that ends up with either the person getting a complete denial or if they only get approved for a waiver. This will be effective immediately!

Starting Jan 2019, we will also extend the policy that every single new waiver case will get a 100% refund if they get denied. We technically could do it now but my advisors are telling me to hold off until January and make it a New Years kind of promotion.

We would not be able to offer this policy had I not accepted Mr. Archer's offer of working together on E-2 Investor Visas.

Anyway, this is in case anyone wondered what had happened to us.

K SCOTT replied 5 years ago   #1336

I have clients who have literally shoplifting for $10 and they were given waivers.

The petty offence exemption does not always work. If you have been given a waiver twice, then you need a waiver. I also have clients where we applied for a waiver and they were given a September Letter.

The truth is that if i was as easy to just get exempted, or if it was THAT consistent then I would be able to display a whole wall of September Letters. But I don't. Notice people who promise "you won't need a waiver" are also not able to display a bunch of September letters either.

I just had a client who had a waiver, reapplied and got a September Letter. (I talked about it in the forum including exactly what he did). Why did they give it to him NOW, and not the first application, which I also prepared? No idea.

John Rogers replied 5 years ago   #1335

@John Rogers. Thanks for the answer. This is a different issue.

I already went to a consulate and the consular recommended a waiver on my behalf to the cbp instead of applying the inadmissibility exception (petty offense clause).

My question is, when I don't need a waiver due to the exception clause, why did the consular still apply for it. This is causing unnecessary delay.

How can I have the waiver requirement removed from the CBP's TECS system when it is a mistake to begin with. I was hoping a legal brief to the DHS stating the facts would help. So, I did that.

The problem is when I went to the consulate for visa about 10 yrs ago, the consular was not aware of the law and applied for a waiver when not needed. The CBP did not review the documents properly and instead of clearing me of the waiver requirement, they just approved a waiver. I did not even apply for it, they just gave it to me assuming that I'd need a waiver. They never considered the petty offense exception clause. They gave me 212 (d ) (3) (a) waiver.
Now, the consular has continued the same mistake by applying for another waiver. I even mentioned this to the consular at the US embassy when I appeared for the interview. He still applied for the waiver. Whats the point of having a law if they are not going to use it.

Can you suggest what I can do to have the waiver requirement removed from the TECS? I already went to the consular interview and told the consular about waiver not being required. I submitted my court documents and letter stating that the criminal charge fell under the petty offense exception.

Please let me know how they (CBP) decide when a waiver is not needed. Thanks

@ Ken Scott. Could you also provide me some pointers. Thanks.

sk123 replied 5 years ago   #1334

@sk123 you have to apply through the consulate, you cannot apply for a waiver at the border. Its very difficult and problematic. For example, when you go, they say "we can't give you a Visa, you are inadmissible". So the client says "yes, here is my waiver application to overcome that inadmissibility" and it should be simple, right?

But in many cases they refuse to take the waiver. And the person is stuck. I rarely attempt waivers for landed immigrants. I tell them to get their citizenship and then we can try. Its also cheaper. Instead of $930.00 its $585.00.

John Rogers replied 5 years ago   #1333

I am posting this message again so it wont go unnoticed.
How long does the September letter take to obtain from the DHS. Is this just for the Canadian nationals? I am not a Canadian citizen. For other nationals, is there a separate process? Do I need to submit certified court documents in order to apply for this at the border only?

I am sure that my CIMT falls under Petty Offense Exception for which no waiver is needed. The USCIS verified this 2 years ago but not the CBP since I was in the US when the USCIS looked into it before approving work permit petition (H1B).

However, the CBP made an error about it 10 yrs ago at Chicago POE and sent me back to my country. They also made me get a waiver thru a consulate. I received the waiver but now it is expired. I went back for a visa stamping recently at my home country to obtain visa but the consular officer put me in for another waiver request since I received waiver the first time. Basically the CBP made an error the first time and wanting me to continue to get a waiver again thus continuing the same error.

sk123 replied 5 years ago   #1332

Also since it's getting close to 2 yr I actually doesnt much care about approval or denial I am just curious about getting results or answered either way approved or denied I am getting close on my I 130 neways my file get current in dec 2005 currently they are processing 15 Feb 2005 I am more waiting for i130 get processed and get denials so I can apply for hardship i601 since my parents live in US and have medical history so I can ground my bar and move to usa

Nskhan replied 5 years ago   #1331

Even on u.s waiver form its say u can apply for waiver if u have permanent bar under I 212 a 6 c I but theres no waiver for i212 a 6c ii which is different 6 c ii for is if u lie about citizenship and stuff like that

Nskhan replied 5 years ago   #1330

I have a 212 a 6 c I
It's a permanent bar but you still have a option to apply for u.s waiver for visiting that's how I recieved 2 previous waiver I guess and my brother live in usa also my parents brother applied for me under f4 back in 2005 dec as well waiting to get current then once my petition get denied then I can apply for i601 hardship to overcome my parents a 6 c I bar to go Usa on green card

But I still have that bar that's why I applied for advanced parole this time and had 2 approved waiver in past under humanitarian since I have no criminal history not even a speeding ticket clean rcmp no court records or anything

Even if u check u.s waiver

#1351

Michelle,

So you have seen people overcome permanent bans and get waivers?

How does one overcome a permanent ban? It seems the definition of "permanent" would be used rather loosely if that was the case.

Samuel replied 5 years ago   #1328

@1348, Nskhan, interesting you receive 2 waivers with a permanent ban? However, waivers in previous years were much easier to get then they are now. The fact that you have been waiting 2 years, tells me that this new waiver application will be denied. You might have just "slipped through" before, but not now. I have a client who received 2 previous waivers (1st one for 1 year - 2nd for 3 years) ...for a very serious offense (attempted murder) and his (3) renewal has just been denied after 18 months of waiting. This advise is from recent experience with my client.

Michelle replied 5 years ago   #1327

#1348

@Nskhan

If you got a permanent bar for misrepresentation how did you overcome that?

You're saying you got a 1 year waiver the first time and a 5 year waiver the second time AFTER getting a permanent bar?

I'm just curious how you managed to sort all of that out and overcome getting barred permanently.

sk123 replied 5 years ago   #1325

No criminal history at all
I was overstayed in 1997 and then they change to parmanent bar cuz of misrepresentation but I had 1 yr approved waiver first time and 2nd was approved for 5 yrs as well

Nskhan replied 5 years ago   #1324

@Nskhan

Is the issue criminal or other? If criminal, whats the "main" offence?

You should hear something very soon. Over a year is not the norm, almost 2 is very rare.
