We have some competitors/persons that are claiming that the
Permanent Clearance aka September Letter does not exist. They are extremely
angry with us and say that we are taking their business away from them. The
waiver companies try to make money on repeat business. By us permanently
clearing people, they feel that they are losing business. However, not a single
client has said that they want to continually pay and go through the waiver
process for the rest of their life. It is a special process to get these
September Letters. We have to properly document on paper why the client does
not need a waiver. The service (CBP) agrees with us (8 out of 10 times) and
they will issue the September Letter.
Note that actual permanent
waivers for Canadians stopped being issued around April of 1998. These were
called Bcc's (Border Crossing Cards). These are the actual old-school permanent
waivers. However, the September Letter permanently waives your specific
criminal issue that the letter was intended for. You may indeed lose the letter
if you are not careful. We call it Permanent Waiver because this may be easier
for people to remember as opposed to September Letter.
Now, please note that not every offence will qualify for these letters.
We are trying a technique for permanently
clearing select drug convictions. If successful, we will post the first one
here. The client came in today to pick up his packet for submission. He is
extremely excited about the possibility of obtaining one. Also, our policy is
that if you don't get the permanent clearance or a 5-year waiver, then your
next waiver case is done by us for free. This is how strongly we believe in our
ability to permanently clear your offence. This blog is a quick explanation and
presentation as to what they look like.
The letter will clear up your
particular area of inadmissibility. However, you may lose it if you do
not follow the correct protocol. We will show you what that is when you are one
of our clients. After you follow the proper protocol, then you will be
ok forever for border crossing.
Again, the thing is that not
every conviction will even require a us entry waiver. The problem is that a
lot of CBP officers don't know which ones do or do not. Also, laws are always
changing that will indicate if the offence requires a waiver or not. The
C.I.M.T definition is extremely vague, and a lot of lawyers do not even know
which one qualifies. Also, CBP purposely does not mention September Letters
because they prefer that everyone with a conviction just have a us entry
waiver. This is why it is difficult to find it on the internet. So for the
other blog writer that has a quasi-similar title as our blog: http://uswaiver.blogspot.ca/2014/12/in-search-of-september-letter.htm,
Please feel free to see a May
2016 September letter that we recently got for a client below. You were
searching, so now we have shown it to you. Your search is now over. You can
also see more samples on our link below.
We are completely transparent
in our business and we will post our successful cases. We do not always get the
September Letter. However, we have a good track record.
