Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Hi, I went 3 times last year, only went to Secondary once (and that took all of 5 minutes).

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

It was very interesting! Success rate looked pretty good, but I assume that is since the sheet started, guess it would be very different stats for last 12.months?

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

I flew in to the US 3 times in 2025 on a waiver, only went to secondary once (Atlanta), and that only took 10 mins. No requests regarding phones etc.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

If it's of interest to anyone, I've just cleared immigration at San Francisco. Didn't even have to go to secondary, so no obvious difference with pre-January.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Great news, I'm going for pleasure this time, hope it's as straightforward. I'm on a business trip in August, might preclear at Dublin to be safe.

Thanks for the update!

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone that already has a waiver has been over the last few weeks? If so, was the experience at border control any different to how it was previously?

I'm going...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

I've never gone via Dublin, but assume the process will be the same (albeit before you fly, rather than after).

I'm on my second waiver, and I've been over a few times, for business and pleasure....

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Hi, I went over end of January. Was taken to secondary, but only briefly, and then allowed through with no further questions. Of course that was just after the inauguration, and I'm not sure if...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Thanks!

Yes it looks like the times are growing, so new applicants may be looking at 9 months I think.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Thanks, I'm hanging on! 209 days so far, second waiver. Keep worrying I've missed the email, but the Visa Status page hasn't updated, so I think not.
Hopefully it wont be long!

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Unlikely with current wait times, but not impossible. Just don't set your heart on it, and if it comes it's a bonus.
My interview was 13th April, still waiting for the magic email.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Finger's crossed - and thanks! This is my second waiver, so I hoped it might be a bit quicker than someone's first, but obviously not 😀
