| Subject: U.S. Waiver |
I have 2 general questions to pose to the readers of this forum.
1) What should I be looking for in looking for an immigration lawyer?
2) Has anyone here ever applied for a U.S. entry waiver? If so, how long did the process take place and did it involve hiring a lawyer?

So it doesn´t involve getting a lawyer or going through one of those places that does it for you for a ´fee´? Where do you get the forms to fill out?

If you enter the USA via land boarder crossing ( Mexico or Canada ) they charge you US$6 for the U.S. entry waiver. But you must be on a passport from a country that gets the waiver.
Currently, 27 countries participate in the Visa Waiver Program, as shown below:

there is no charge for it...as long as you can prove a return ticket, prove the form they give you and have passport from one of the 26 countries

Waiver (in reply to: U.S. Waiver)
Unfortunately I didn´t make myself clear about the waiver question. I was denied entry into the U.S. for a period of 5 years for mispresentating myself to the INS and is trying to figure out if I can return back into the states earlier. I know that even after 5 years I need a waiver anyway but was wondering if I can shorten that 5 year period or if a waiver would allow me to temporarily travel into the states for things like weddings, work or just passing thru the U.S. enroute to another country.
