Actually smokey.... John and Michelle are 2 very different people. Michelle is a very nice professional person that works hard to try and help people get cleared in the prairies. John Rogers runs a discount waiver company in Ontario and tries very hard to get business for some unknown reason. John does not know how to talk to people sometimes. We run our business from the West Coast of Canada...Specifically BC. We do not look at our clients as just mere cattle like the discount waiver companies do. We look at and treat them like close friends and do everything to get them cleared either with a lifetime clearance or a 5 Year Waiver. Discount waiver companies can make a case much worse and we get a number of people that have used them and then come to us. They get upset when we have to charge them extra to reverse the damage from the discount waiver company. It is very frustrating and I keep telling people that the case should have been prepared properly in the first place. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that they are not the same person. We also host an internet talk radio show about border crossing issues. The point is that we do a lot to get people cleared

WTF people are trying to get information about waiver wait time and someone is finding customer here.

John - people are just jealous. Ignore the haters. LOL

Smokey, never heard of you before. If you go on the Facebook group "Complaints against Federal Pardons" you will see both Michelle and I posting using our real Facebook accounts, with our real names. She runs a Pardon and Waiver Business in Saskatchewan, I am in Brampton Ontario. Not the same person. The RCMP had accredited both of us separately. Do some homework next time before posting such a lazy accusation.

It seems that there’s a very good possibility that JOHN ROGERS and Michelle are indeed the same person.

Anyone else here getting that feeling?

I posted my answer to that question on that forum. Again, its not really a waiver forum, so I would suggest you will get better answers here for waiver questions. You have myself and Michelle, plus many people who have applied on their own to give advice. I think between myself, Michelle and all the people who have done waivers successfully, you will get a pretty accurate picture.

If anyone can refute my position on needing a waiver after a ban, please feel free to post.

I had a look at the forum you mentioned which is run by a US Immigration lawyer.

I would not trust a lot of the information on there, unless its related to immigration to the US. Thats obviously their expertise, not waivers.

If you don't need a waiver once your ban is up, and you usually need to wait until your ban is up anyways to get a waiver, how does your information make any sense?

Once you are banned, you did something WRONG. You overstayed. You lied. You did SOMETHING.

The ban means you cannot enter for x amount of years. After the ban is up, you need a waver. FOR SURE.

Feel free to bring forward the THOUSANDS of people, and there must be THOUSANDS, to prove me wrong. Should be easy.

After a 10 year ban, after a 5 year ban after a 20 year ban, you need a wavier. Period.

According to another forum, once your ban is up, you don’t need to apply for a waiver to enter.

CBP does however have the right to inspect you and deny you entry again, for whatever reason they see fit.

The info on that forum is consistent with what my lawyer has told me. I don’t believe you need any additional waiver once your ban is over. If anyone had experienced otherwise, please share.

I’m a little skeptical of the implication on this forum that you need a waiver after waiting out the ban. Again, as this is a forum for Canadian citizens, and we naturally don’t need a visa to enter.

Adam1980 when you apply for any application with Homeland Security, you must usually submit a G325A.

When you do a waiver, you must have ALL the elements. See my note on whats needed for a waiver. Also with a drug conviction, letter from a doctor OR drug test indicating you are not using drugs now.

Hi
I am just finishing my i194 waiver because I am a Canadian who is inadmissible for simply possession. I admitted to the customs officer I had been finger printed.

Do I need to fill out and submit form g135 with the i194 package? Or is this form only for applications being submitted with USCIS?

Thanks in advance.

@Michelle

Are you seeing waivers for overstays (3 and 10 year bans) being denied en masse until the time of the ban is completely up under the Trump Administration?

As per comment #842 JOHN ROGERS alluded to this.

What has been your experience with this?

Thanks for any input and/or clarification.

#851 Isabelle, to answer your question, a waiver does not "waive" a ban. A waiver is a document that basically allows you to enter the USA after there has been an issue with you entering the USA, example, a criminal conviction, a previous deportation, ect. It really just means that the USA has "waive" the fact that you were originally not allowed into the country. You have to apply for a Waiver after a ban is completed. I usually don't have my clients apply for a waiver until the ban is completed. Hope this helps.

@jazzsax

Thanks for your cogent, comprehensive and cohesive analysis to the thread.

Perhaps it would be best not to take up space posting nonsensical dross.

Yeah if Shillary was elected, she'd be granting waivers to everyone... more money to pay for her to give it away to random causes that don't impact 95% of the general population.

@JOHN ROGERS

Thanks for the clarification. Please keep us up to date if you start seeing waivers for 10 year bans being successful. Much appreciate the input.

I'm pretty confident that had Hilary become POTUS then we wouldn't see such draconian measures taken against Canadians vis-a-vis bans, waivers, etc.

I rarely include court documents in even first applications. Photocopies even if I have them, never the originals.

On initial applications I do send away for the court so if Homeland Security asks for them we have them.

Jake D: In the past, I was seeing that 10 year bans would not be enforced if a person did a waiver, and they were usually granted after 5 years.

In April /May/June 2017 I had a few that were rejected because the ban was being enforced. So I discouraged people with a ban from applying.

I now have a few trying again, to see if they will succeed.

Thanks John, so just to confirm, as this is my 5th waiver, I do not need to get the court docs? They can take month months to get. Thanks!

@JOHN ROGERS

Please clarify.

Your comment #842

Your exact words here:

“2.) Since Trump I have seen all applicants be denied a waiver because their ban is not up.”

and also you stated...

“Since April 2017 I’ve noticed two trends...”

“They seem to be enforcing bans until they are done...”

"Request for evidence" do you mean just a I-72 form asking for more information?

Its much more common these days than before. Time periods unfortunately vary but I have noticed its taking long than in the past.
