Have waiver... will travel

Today I landed in San Francisco. Another of the 6 trips to the United States that I have taken thus far with my I-194 waiver over the past few months. A couple of points from my experience:

• Processing time is much slower now than in the past (specifically before I needed a waiver to travel to the US). Note: Make sure you arrive at the airport with extra time before your flight!
• In my experience the officer always reads the waiver and cover letter in full (almost like it is the first time he/she has ever seen anything like it).
• They almost never ask me questions about it (like, "what did you do").
• I always present my waiver right away accompanied by the completed I-94. The officer enters what appears to be a novel into his terminal (I assume it is the details of where I am going and how long I am staying and file numbers).
• They rarely ask me of my intended intentions in the US (in the past I used to get drilled every trip).
• Besides the extra time required the process is very simple.
  

I would suggest that when you are at the airport, pick up a stack of I-94 forms and pre fill your form before your trip. In the experiences that I have had so far, the officer always limits my trip to a little over a week.

Good luck!
