PART II - Waiver visa - Not allowed into the US
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment George Arora, a CPA in our West Vancouver, BC, Canada Office brings up the following item with regard to waivers. David, If the client is not a citizen of Canada, the waiver is obtained thru the consulate and is quicker, if approved George Arora CPA ============================================ I live in Toronto and I have a small criminal record in the States and was just refused entry for the first time. I now want to obtain a waiver visa or anything else that I could do to make my travels to the States easier as I need to travel to the US frequently and it is very important to me and my business. Is there anything I could do to speed up the waiver process? and ever more so is there anything I can do to get my record removed/pardoned? Thank you. I am currently in Jamaica for the next couple of weeks and my numbers are: XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX 5555 ================================== david ingram replies: Waivers are taking a year now. As you get one, you have to start over on your next application. Do NOT take a chance and try and sneak in now that you have been warned. Under EXPEDITED REMOVAL RULES You can end up imprisonned and fined $5,000 and banned from the US for five years if you get caught now. I would love to help you but I am in Vancouver and you live in Toronto and it is the middle of Income tax preparation season and I am just too busy. Check with Pardons Canada at http://www.pardons.org/ They are on St Clair in Toronto and can help you with the waiver you need. They cannot get you a pardon because your record is in the US but they can assist you with your waiver. You have my sympathy and my empathy. I had to get a waiver once and it is a demeaning and demoralizing process. Sometimes I think it is an advantage to me that I have gone from Plus $5,000,000 to bankrupt, been divorced (and in the middle of a divorce now) and had to get a US waiver. Gives me more empathy for some of the problems my enquirers have. ---------------------------------------------------------- Answers to this and other similar questions can be obtained free on Air every Sunday morning.
