Of note: I've discovered by reading multiple bulletin board threads that the I-192 is actually the application for the waiver. The actual waiver that I hope to receive is called the I-194. It comes in the form of a 2 page letter (8" x 11") and is valid for either 1 year or up to 5 years.

3 weeks since I mailed my C-216C to the RCMP and still nothing.

I've read on a few bulletin boards (like this one) that processing times for the I-192 are taking upwards of 10-12 months.

About

This is a personal account of a Canadian's pursuit to acquire, successfully receive and utilize a US Waiver (I-194) after learning that he was inadmissible due to a criminal record from more than 20 years ago. This blog should serve as a resource for others who are trying to navigate the waiver process.

My status: Successfully applied for and received my I-194 waiver in November 2006 after a 9 month wait. This 5 year waiver expires in November 2011 and allows me to travel to the US for business and pleasure. I routinely travel to the US on business (1-2 times per month) through many ports of entry. This blog contains my experiences (pre and post application for waiver) and includes resources and links which will hopefully assist you in your pursuit.

In Canada, to Apply for an I-194 waiver you will need to complete the I-192 application (Application for Advance Permission to Enter as a Non-Immigrant). Current filing fee is $545 US. The most recent form can be found here: I-192
