Got your I-194?
Reply here with how long it took. Months, weeks, days...
africanjedi85.......I get the same situation. What I find : If you overstay more then 1 year, CBP will give you 5 years ban.You can't come back to US right away. One person told me , he get his waiver one year before 5 years time frame ends.But , even you stay one day longer- the shortest ban from CBP, still 5 years. I have the same answer all the time. Did apply 4 month before you.
Something more . After 5 years CBP ban finished. Emigration USA law said:if you overstay 1 year, - you get 10 year ban. But, its look like you get possibility after 5 years receive a regular waiver. But if you simply drive in, they can ask you , "if you stay outside of US 10 years already?" .
@africanjedi85 .................. Ask RS ... he has his own thread on helping folks out and he got his waiver in less than 5 months on this forum. Maybe you did something wrong on your application and the person who is looking at your application is being biased and is taking there lazy time.
Man i'm still waiting on my waiver...applied in November 2015 at Pearson due to an overstay and I still get the "application is on file with the ARO" email. I know the first application is the longest but wow. Any suggestions from anyone?
Hello Everyone,
I am new to the site and I am happy to see there are real live people going through this process. As we all know sometimes the border doesn't like to provide information or insight. I just put in my 2nd application for my waiver on June 2016. I have applied before back in March of '12 and was emailing ARO on a consistent basis only to tell me everything was still in process. I found it weird that within in a year and 6 months I had no answer. I finally decided to go to the Lewiston Border where they told me I was not allowed to be at their border and if I tried again I could be arrested even though at the port I had already told them I was inadmissable but that I needed to speak with someone regarding my waiver and I had my passport to show them. When I spoke with CBP officer he looked me up and seen that my application was denied in Sept. 12. I did not change any information and yet I received nothing from ARO or had anything mailed to me. It is now June 2016 and so I'm hoping processing times are not long, I will keep everyone updated.
@Bo yeah I was effin surprised 114 days total... but now I am worry free for the next 5 years... just time to hit up Vegas with the guys -n- dolls for summer, when I couldn't before.
Just keeping checking that mail box, it will eventually come otherwise they would have sent you a letter by now stating they need more info pertaining to your waiver.
On a different note, Aldergrove border crossing has nicer guards then the 176 truck border... I always enter that way....but then again if we need waivers we are common criminals in the US CBP minds.
