My friend is a citizen of Britian and of Canada. He has been fingerprinted and photographed twice by U.S. Customs in Ontario, and he has sent them two letters. He was told he would receive clearance/permission to come to the U.S. to visit his friends within six weeks, and that was over six months ago. Does anyone know what he can do to expedite this process?
Thank you for your help.

Normally Canadian Citizens pass through with little fanfare, as they are visa exempt. So what is in your friend's past that is prompting CBP to stop him? If it is criminal, he may need to get a waiver, and it would help to have an attorney. If it is because he is trying to bring something into the US (which is why customs is involved) then perhaps it is best left alone.
Sorry, but really need more information to help you out

If her reason is to no longer immigrate there is not any concern in anyway coming right here without a visa and going homestead earlier her 6 months are up. even however, if she tells immigration on the port of get admission to she's getting married they're going to make her "teach" she's going homestead and that's difficult to do.

I think your story is a little muddled. USCIS is only interested in immigration cases, not visitors, unless he has an inadmissability and has applied for a waiver. If he has submitted photos and fingerprints for a tourist visa, it does not take six months to get one unless - again - he has a serious inadmissibility or ineligibility.

It usually takes within 6 and 8 weeks. They are notoriously slow. the same speed as the passport agency.
Just give it a couple of more weeks.
