Now Processing Saturdays Only

Ottawa and Toronto pre-clearance centres are now processing I-192 waiver applications only on Saturdays between 10am and 6pm. These are handled on a first come, first served basis. Unsure about other pre-clearance centres.

    The pre-clearance office at the Toronto Pearson is only accepting applications on Saturday. It starts seeing people at 8:30 AM. BUT!!! Show up at about 2 am if you would like to be first in line. Wait patiently by the door. At about 5 am (which is when they actually start working) someone will come out and leave a sign up sheet. At that time expect about a dozen people already accumulating. Everyone is pretty civil and knows who was first and next. So everyone signs up in that order. At 8 AM someone comes out again, picks up the sign up sheet and starts calling out names giving out appointment slots. About 2 ppl per half hour. So in essence there is always a high likelihood you will be seen that day, but either way you are waiting hours.

    Vancouver is very confusing. Talked to a really gruff officer at YVR, and he eventually told me they only accept applications on Tuesdays, by appointment only. Tried calling the Pacific Truck Crossing, and they were gruff as well and just said they are open 24 hours. Will try to go this week and see.

Do you have an I-194 waiver?

Thanks to those who participated in my recent poll "Do you have an I-194 waiver?". It turns out that of those who participated over half have applied or intend to for the I-194 waiver (Advance Permission to Enter as a Non-Immigrant). It is also interesting to note that the amount that have 1 year or 5 year waivers are very close (3 to 4). I had read somewhere that the waivers were granted as 1 year or 5 based on the degree or seriousness of the past offenses. If this is true, then wouldn't a person expect that if he/she were granted a 5 year waiver, he/she should always expect the 5 year waiver? I'd be happy to hear your comments and personal experiences on this. Update: See  I-192 Waiver Application Process

Check Your Waiver Application Status

I've never tried, but apparently there is an email address to check your waiver application status. CHECKING THE STATUS OF YOUR WAIVER REQUEST: Please allow at least 120 days from the date of submission of your I-192 before making an inquiry about the status of your application. As stated earlier, a full review of your circumstances can take up to a year, and requests for status updates may add to that timeline. However, if for some reason you are concerned about the status of your request, and you filed at a CBP Preclearance location or at a land border port of entry after August 26, 2007 you may ask for an update by emailing inquiry.waiver.aro@dhs.gov . In the email, be sure to provide your full name, DOB and your A number. If you filed at a land border port of entry prior to August 26, 2007, please contact them directly. Phone numbers are on our Web site. Attorney inquiries: attorneyinquiry.waiver.aro@dhs.gov If you have submitted an application and you have had a chang...

Changes to I-192 Waiver Application Process

There have been a few changes to the steps needed to apply for the I-194 (advance permission to enter the United States) after being denied entry at the US border. The changes below are in bold . Find your local fingerprint office (call to see if you need an appointment). Bring your passport, photo identification that shows your address (driver's licence for example) and approxiametly  $25 CDN (most places seem to accept debit / credit cards) . Cost is between $25 and approxiametly   $60 depending on whether the facility forwards your information electrically to the RCMP (if this is the case, skip step 2). Mail the C-216C form to the RCMP. Include a check for processing (approxiametly $25 CDN but call to confirm).  Wait up to 1-3 months for a reply... When you receive your completed C-216C from the RCMP ensure it includes the fingerprint chart with a date stamp and the documentation related to your conviction and disposition. Complete a personal statement...
