RE[16]: Best Locations to hand in Waivers

J Rogers — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 15:02:47 +0000

@rogersrude

I posted a TOPIC on this. Instead of READING it, look at his question. "Are you telling me....." isn't a question. Its a demand.

I answered with much more detail and attention than the person asking the question. And "when I went last time I was told..." without WHEN that was, or more context is LAZY.

"I went to the border on __________ and I was told __________" helps everyone and I will answer that.

I answered in the "tone" it was asked. I am not rude, but READ a bit PLEASE.

Ask anything, but ask so OTHERS can actually BENEFIT from your question and answer.

RE[5]: Anyone With an I-194 waiver apply for a NEXUS card?

J Rogers — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:34:25 +0000

@TheThinker

I cannot be 100% sure. I assume when you "overstay" or "work illegally" and then do a waiver, and then they say "you do not need advance permission" then you SHOULD be cleared to apply for a Nexus or Fast card.

Unlike a lot of people/organizations that do waivers, I get a LOT of "immigration issues" probably at least 30% or higher. So many of the September Letters I get are like this. The problem is I lose touch with most of the clients in this category because
-They do not need a pardon either
-They do not need another waiver,

So unlike most clients, they have no need to stay in touch. So if they DO apply for a Fast Card or Nexus Card, I would not know.

I-601 Applications

I am trying to find accurate information for clients I have. I have helped a few with these applications and want to know if more people are doing them? they are when your Green Card application is filed and you are inadmissible,

"Native Status" or People who have A Native Status Card (Canadian)

J Rogers — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 21:40:08 +0000

I had a waiver client who got her card proving her status from the Government of Canada.

Today, she went to the border to ask if she need a new waiver, or if she could cross.

They told her she must fill out a "Quantum Form" so I did some research.

Under U.S. law (8 U.S.C. § 1359) and the Jay Treaty, Canadian-born Indigenous people with at least 50% blood quantum have the right to freely enter, live, work, and study in the United States without a visa. To claim this status with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or Homeland Security, individuals must prove their blood percentage.

Required Documentation

U.S. authorities do not rely on a standard Canadian status card alone to grant permanent work or residency rights under the Jay Treaty.

Acceptable proof typically includes:Blood Quantum Letter:

An official statement or ancestry letter on band/tribal letterhead, or from Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), explicitly stating a blood quantum of 50% or higher based on official genealogical records.

Long-Form Birth Certificate: Showing lineage connecting to parents/grandparents with verified status.

Secure Certificate of Indian Status (SCIS) or photo ID.

WHTI-Compliant Travel Document: Such as a valid passport if arriving by air.

Basically in Canada, your blood % does not matter. In the US it has to be seen as 50% or greater.

If anyone has any experiences with this, please chime in. Also please note I have cut and pasted much of this, so I am not vouching for its accuracy, and I certainly did not mean to offend anyone if I used any terms to identify anyone.

RE[4]: 1 spouse has Nexus, the other needs a waiver

Naomi — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 22:19:57 +0000

Recently travelled from YYZ Toronto to LGA La Guardia in July 2026

I have a waiver and my spouse has a Nexus Card.

Spouse did not use Nexus Card and used passport to enter with me.

Came to secondary with me which was optional, could have just entered but waited with me
Did not need to surrender passport while i was in secondary screening

I went and did my thing and was told all good to go. Gave me back my waiver and passport and a small piece of paper. Which I required to leave secondary

That was it

RE[4]: Travel information

Naomi — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 22:09:38 +0000

Recently flew from YYZ Toronto to LGA La Guardia in July 2026.

Went into secondary screening and out in a relatively fast timeline. Make sure when you hand them your passport to tell them you have a waiver. They are big on the document not being in the passport.

You do not appear to pay the 6 dollar fee any longer. At least for air travel.

Looked online and found the I94 is good until January 2027.

Still had time before traveling to USA to enter the Maple Leaf Lounge

Hope this helps

Do you have alot of clients waiting opon late 2025 early 2026 dates?

Thanks for the help and every post you put up gives me a glimpse of hope ! Keep it up!

RE[5]: Anyone received an I-192 waiver with TN/work designation recently?

J Rogers — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 13:04:48 +0000

@Tacks

Just to give you more context, this question is an important one and I will explain why.

Before THIS Trump term, you HAD to put on your waiver application "in the future I may also want to apply for a TN/O/E Visa if you planned to apply for one once your waiver was granted.

We know this because I had MANY clients who had 5 year waivers, and when they would try and apply for these visas, they had to get a brand new waiver with this designation.

I have a friend who works for Homeland Security (he now works in Hawaii but used to work at Pearson and trained with me in MMA) and he explained it this way. When they are considering your waiver application, the fact you MIGHT want to apply for a VISA is important in their consideration. Many clients I have are doing waivers not because of criminal records, but for things such as "applying for asylum-application rejected" "misrepresentation" and "overstaying" as well as "working illegally". If you apply for a waiver and do not tell them your intentions, they may have given you a waiver for a shorter period for example.

Now, they have changed this again. Instead of simply ignoring the "I may wish to apply for____ in the future" or adding it to the waiver, they STOP the application, and ASK, "do you want the waiver? Or should he close the file so you can apply for the Visa?"

This makes no sense, since if you are INADMISSIBLE, you cannot get a visa, you cannot even VISIT. The waiver "waives" your inadmissibility.

Anyways, this is the REAL reason this has come up. My advice? Since they are making it difficult to get these Visas anyways, and since 80% of 1st waivers are 1 year anyways, just apply for the waiver, and then hopefully if you get an opportunity to apply for a TN visa or any other visa, just apply separately.

NEXUS CARD HOLDER DENIED

J Rogers — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 14:24:30 +0000

I have a new client, he had a Nexus card. He had a bad reaction to the Johnson/Johnson shot, and went from healthy, to autoimmune "hell".

Medicine in Canada found no solutions, so he found a clinic in Tampa doing experimental treatments, and it has changed his life. He ONLY travelled to and from this clinic. No vacations, no holidays. He is getting slowly better and can now walk. He is only 61....former high level hockey player.

He got confronted by Homeland Security, and they said that it appears he overstayed. He showed them all the paperwork, all the visits, and yes, he had overstayed.

He also needs to go to another appointment/treatment later this month, and in August.

Of course they revoked his Nexus, denied him entry, and basically told him to go back to Canada and die there. (this was a woman officer)

Now he is my client, and I have had experience with a client who went for experimental Cancer treatment. In his case, he was in his 30's and he looked terrible when he was referred to us. In his case, it was a minor criminal record.

In the case of that gentleman, we applied for the Waiver, and, knowing it would not arrive in time, immediately did a Port Parole. They granted it, but warned that "this would be the only one" until his waiver arrived.

We applied again anyways, and every time he came back, he looked worse. They kept granting it, he went for treatments, and he kept looking worse.

Buffalo Port of Entry kept saying "we won't do this again" but they gave him 4 Port Paroles in a row, and on the fourth one, his waiver arrived.

3 months later, he walked into our office, the cancer in remission. To this day I have NEVER felt better about the process, Homeland Security, and this job.

The Buffalo director SAVED this guys life.

But that was a different world, and a different administration, and a time when the US and Canada were true allies. Buffalo did the RIGHT thing. They saved a man's life. I am not sure if they will do the same thing.

This Homeland Security office, a woman, according to the client, seemed to REVEL in the fact that she had the power to hurt this guy. He said nothing, he left.

I don't think his chances are good (which he knows) because of the current posture of Homeland Security, but I am going to try VERY hard to make it hard for them to say no. I'll keep everyone updated, and lets hope I am wrong, and they do the right thing.

Politics matter people. We have an unarmed border with "our closest ally" and yet because of one corrupt person, and his racist policies, people have died. People will continue to die. I hope this guy isn't one of them.
