As mentioned by a contributor on the I-194 waiver forum, a recent article on CBC (Have you ever smoked weed?) has made claim that the cost of an I-192 waiver application is increasing from $585 to a whopping $930 US ($1,200 CDN) later this year.
There seems to be some truth as found on a US Federal Register under a section labelled "TABLE 9—PROPOSED FEES BY IMMIGRATION BENEFIT" (see here: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-05-04/pdf/2016-10297.pdf) If these changes move ahead Canadian's who have been previously denied entry to the US will see a 59% increase on their US waivers.
There is some potential good news in that all waivers after the fee increase may be issued for a set 5 year (instead of the current 1, 3, 5 year) with limited exceptions for sexual assault convictions but that has yet to be confirmed. Waiver renewal application processing seemed to have gotten quicker over the summer with some applicants commenting on 3 month returns. So perhaps we can focus on some good news to finish our summer holiday.

Apparently it is official. The website indicates that effective Dec 23, 2016 the fee went up to $ 930.00
ReplyDeleteHas anyone applied since the fees have gone up
Has anyone applies using the new forms yet
I have been waiting on a renewal for 22 months. Every time I inquire as to the status I get the same your application is on file pending further review. I have been getting waivers since 1994. Never had this delay before. No changes in my life have occurred. I have not been asked to provide any additional info. I highly doubt it is pending further review. I believe it went missing somewhere in the processing and background checking procedures between departments. I believe their system shows it as "pending" and therefore no one will investigate further. 22 months is an unreasonable delay. My $565.00 filing fee is gone. I now don't know whether to refile or just wait. I fear I will wait forever unless someone decides to look into this.
ReplyDeleteHas the written of this blog applied for a renewed waiver yet - your sidebar indicates that your waiver is expiring October of 2017.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Apparently the fees have not gone up.

Apparently someone had a heart and kept the fees as is.
Has the written applied for a new waiver yet? As it appears yours will expire later this year.
Have you completed the new forms yet?
it appears the I-192 form has changed on 4/9/2019
ReplyDeleteit now appears to be a bit longer and seems to have questions that use to be on G-325a form. Does this mean we no longer have to fill out the G-325a form
according to https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/admission-forms/form-i-92-application-advance-permission-enter-nonimmigrant "Form G-325A is not needed when filing the most recent version of the Form I-192."
