How long does it take to process a U.S. Entry Waiver Application?
Due to delays in acquiring RCMP certified records from Ottawa, U.S. Entry Waiver applications now take between 6 to 8 months to assemble. If fingerprints are taken in one of our offices, they will be biometrically scanned. This will drastically reduce RCMP processing time to approximately 3-4 months. Another 6 to 12 months of processing time should be expected for a decision to be rendered by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office.
