The United States will refuse admission to anyone who has a criminal record for crimes of moral turpitude or in cases where an individual has multiple convictions. To ensure you can enter the U.S., we can help you acquire a U.S. Entry Waiver. This will allow you to travel to or through the United States of America legally.
A U.S. entry waiver overcomes border restrictions and allows you to enter the United States of America. This is a legal document issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that awards advance permission to the applicant to enter the United States for a specific period. Once a traveler has a valid U.S. Waiver, they are legally allowed to enter the United States an unlimited number of times via air or land throughout the Waiver term, regardless of their criminal record.
With our effective management of the legal process, efficient processing of the application, and quick solutions for questions or obstacles, we can help you receive your U.S. Entry Waiver.
IMPORTANT: YOU NEED A U.S. ENTRY WAIVER EVEN WHEN HAVING A LAYOVER IN THE U.S.
You do not need a waiver before travelling to the U.S. if:
- One (and only one) impaired driving charge or a simple assault charge may not cause you denial when attempting to enter the U.S.
- Whether you are allowed entry is completely at the discretion of Customs & Border Protection (CBP) Officers at the time of your attempt to enter.
PLEASE NOTE: CBP Officers have absolute authority to deny entry to a traveler based on any charge or suspicion of your criminal record.
How long does the process take?
The process takes from six to twelve months. The first part of the application involves processing the application. We will complete the application on your behalf to ensure that your application meets the waiver criteria.
How long is the U.S. Entry Waiver Valid for?
The length of the time the waiver is valid is determined by the Customs and Border Protection division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Often the waiver is valid for 2-5 years. However, five years is the maximum amount of time. If you are given less than five years, the U.S. can examine your conduct during your time in the U.S. and then may grant you a longer-term upon renewal.
