There are rare exceptions, but whether you file a waiver, or a waiver AND an I-212 you simply get a waiver in return. That's why I tell clients to wait. Its an extra $930USD for the exact same waiver.

Sorry, that was meant for the response below

Sorry June 14th, not 16th.
5 year waiver, first time applying, did it myself. Possession of a schedule I narcotic in 1999 while crossing the border, no criminal record/charges.

I went to CBP border crossing at the Peace Arch on April 26th to inquire about parole since I needed to be in the US on Monday the 29th. Options were not good but we could see on their side that the file had been opened for the very first time since August at 830AM that day (Friday, April 26th) and an event was created at 430PM the same day (we couldn't see what the event was). They recommended I try for parole the next day. I went to another CBP crossing on the 28th to apply for parole and the supervisor at Pacific Crossing was beyond abusive but the officers were kind. An email request to the ARO for status request on Monday the 29th generated the exact same email response as usual (even though it really was in progress). Less than an hour later the waiver was approved. So at least in this case, it didn't take them long to look at the file - it just takes 8+ months to get to the file.
#1 Client was just asked for further info. This gives a good impression of that timeline. He now has 87 days. They also requested an I-212

@SlothDude I have a 10 year bar on me for overstay which expires March 2025. I turned my waiver in June 9th of 2023 and haven’t heard back yet.
@SlothDude That is a VERY unusual Waiver path. 1 year followed by a 3 year waiver. Can you give us some general details? I think in the past 5 years I have had 2- 3 year waivers and 1-4 year. But NEVER after a 1. Curious about why.
3 year waiver granted, already had a 1 year.

@J Rogers unfortunately I’m the rare occurrence. Stole less than $2000 from a previous employer and ended up with theft under indictable. Stupid things you do at 18. Live and learn (like learn to get a better lawyer from the start when you don’t understand the implications of summary vs indictable ) oh well. Waivers for life lol
