What Are U.S.A Entry Waivers?

A U.S.A Entry Waiver, also known as a U.S.A Entry Waiver of Inadmissibility, is an official document issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that allows individuals who are otherwise inadmissible to legally enter the United States for travel, work, study, or immigration-related purposes.
If you have a criminal record, a previous entry refusal, or immigration violations, you may be denied entry under U.S.A law. A U.S.A Entry Waiver provides legal authorization to cross the border safely and confidently.
At GBWS Immigration Services, our trained professionals handle your entire waiver process—from documentation and fingerprinting to application preparation and submission—ensuring full compliance with DHS and U.S.A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements.

Why You Might Need U.S.A Entry Waivers

You may require a U.S.A Entry Waiver if you:

  • Have a Canadian or foreign criminal record
  • Have been denied entry, deported, or overstayed a previous U.S.A visa
  • Have medical or immigration issues making you inadmissible
  • Plan to travel for business, work, study, or family visits

Even minor offenses such as DUI, theft, or drug possession can make travelers inadmissible under U.S.A immigration law. Without a waiver, you risk entry refusal or detention.
GBWS professionally prepares and submits your U.S.A Entry Waiver application, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and a strong presentation—giving you peace of mind for every trip.

What U.S.A Entry Waivers Enable

A U.S.A Entry Waiver, granted by the Admissibility Review Office (ARO) of DHS, permits lawful entry into the United States for:

  • Business or Employment
  • Tourism and Family Visits
  • Study or Training Programs
  • Medical or Humanitarian Purposes

Waivers are typically valid for 1 to 5 years and can be renewed prior to expiration.

U.S.A Entry Waivers vs. Visa Waiver Program

It’s important to distinguish between U.S.A Entry Waivers and the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (VWP):

  • The Visa Waiver Program (ESTA) allows nationals from certain countries (e.g., the U.K., France, Japan) to enter the U.S.A for short visits without a visa.
  • Canadians typically do not need to apply for the visa waiver program, but individuals with criminal or immigration violations will be denied entry and must apply for a U.S.A Entry Waiver.

If you’ve ever been found inadmissible or denied entry, GBWS helps you restore your legal right to travel through the correct U.S.A Entry Waiver process.
