US WAIVER /
IN ADMISABILITY
WHAT IS US WAIVER OR INADMISABILITY
If you have violated any US law either federal or local or have any conviction or criminal record in USA or have entered / stayed into USA illegally you might be inadmissible to enter in USA for any visa category or purpose. It does not matter what nationality or residence permit you had at that time or now , unless that record has been cleared or taken care of your entry can be denied at any time by the border security agents of USA at any prot of entry.
In other situation if you have a criminal record in Canada you must apply for a U.S. Waiver in order to travel to the United States. A Canadian Pardon does not guarantee entry into the U.S., you still require a Waiver. A U.S. Waiver application usually takes 8-12 months to process, therefore it is essential to apply for your U.S. Waiver well before the date you wish to enter the U.S.
There is no official waiting period since your last conviction before you can apply for a U.S. Waiver, but it is recommended that you wait at least 3 years (5 years for more serious offences including narcotics related convictions). A U.S. Waiver can be approved for 1 to 5 years. Once a U.S. Waiver expires, you must go through the same process again and apply for a new one.
Over the last few years, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has taken measures to increase border security. Avoid the embarrassment of being detained, deported and possibly having your vehicle and property seized at the border. Contact Pardon Experts today and let their experience and expertise handle the preparation of your U.S. Waiver application.
If you have never been stopped chances are likely that Security officials are unaware of
your criminal record. Apply for a Pardon to make sure that they will never find out
I Have a Pardon
If you have been denied entry into the United States before receiving your
Pardon your criminal record has been downloaded into the Department of Homeland
Security’S computer systems. Therefore any time you cross the United States border
your record will show up. A Pardon does not remove your record from their systems.
A pardon has no jurisdiction outside of Canada.
If you were able to cross the border before without being stopped or detained, chances
are likely that they did not download your record into their system. This means they are
not aware of your record and and will not be able to access it, since it has been removed from
the CPIC database because of your granted Pardon
