What is a US Waiver of Inadmissibility 2025?

Are you tired of being stopped at the US-Canadian border because you have a criminal record in Canada? Is your criminal record preventing you from entering the United States of America to visit your family/friends, or for work or travel? You can obtain a US waiver of inadmissibility (commonly known as a US waiver) to make your trip to the States seamless and worry-free! US waivers are reviewed and assessed by the US Department of Homeland Security. Once a US waiver is granted, the individual must bring the letter of decision each time you cross the border. US waivers are usually granted for 1 year; up to 5 years. It is important to note that the US entry waiver is NOT the equivalent of a US immigrant visa.

To apply for a US wavier, applicants need to obtain a recent RCMP police clearance certificate and complete the Form I-192. With all required documentations in hand, the applicant needs to visit a designated port of entry and submit the paperwork in person. After the application is submitted to Homeland Security, the average turnaround time is 6 to 12 months. The decision and length of the waiver is completely determined by Homeland Security. Given the long processing time of the waiver decision, it is critical make note of the expiry date and re-apply for your new waiver in a timely manner.
