My husband had a DWI conviction almost 50 years ago and was denied global entry in August! In any event, I submitted my application and disclosed that I had the pardon and all records were expunged. Hello, my son (then 7 yrs. I understand the fact that I am fully responsible for my luggage contents, but the way things progressed has made me wonder. He is not 32 and has not had another offense. Thanks! Ten years is not an official policy. they said its not that easy I know thats a Lier so they lifted my card and know Im revoked my renewal is in November 21 I have never had a serious volition like smuggling or contraband are unauthorizing presenters no criminal record not even a parking ticket it I know they would take my card even in line I would have back up and returned home, Im justified any of this but think its way to punitive, especially a possible 10 year wait, its not bank robbery or manslaughter and I knew the sentri lane is a privilege so is a drivers license but they dont take that away for that. I got conditional approval within days and at the time of the interview the officer didnt even look at any documents ( said she had all the information and was actually very very nice) and I was approved. Thoughts on chance for success? Hi. a metal container in the shape of a cylinder the shelter stores huge cans of water for an emergency. I would obtain certified copies of your husbands court disposition. The officer at the customs was very nice (Kudos to him) and told me that I was flagged for carrying curry leaves. Would this deny me? Your parent or legal guardian does not have to be a Global Entry member. I have those court documents from the attorney. Would I be denied? If this was your only law enforcement/CBP incident, you might have a good reinstatement possibility. I have been denied twice I just got denied today for a second time and I dont know why I have been arrested, convicted or have a criminal record. 2nd one was when i was 18 years old and i was charged with a misdemeanor for theft again. Im now 39 and havent had a single incident. Will I qualify for the global check ? Im sure my girls would pass, but what would be your thoughts on the chance I will be approved too? That said sounds like I will not be getting my sentri application approved at all. Will I be denied sentri? How long a wait is anyones guess. This was 3 years ago, but you get put on unmonitored probation where you just stay out of trouble, and then at the end of the program the charges are dismissed and the matter is expunged. juvenile detention, that would or should not be considered an adult criminal conviction. I have the interview and everything but it just gets denied. You should take in certified copies of the court disposition or minutes. Unfortunately, customs or agricultural violations seem to stay on a persons record forever. I wanted to get global entry but the chances look slim. How long a wait is anyones guess. Are juvenile records expunged? Hello, would a 14 almost 15-year felony with a sense clean history working in a position of trust still disqualify you. I would check with your post-conviction criminal attorney to see what the effect of that is legally. It was only today, when I printed the application to add to my file for my interview that I noticed the follow-up question asking if I had any expunged records. A Temporary Resident Permit allows individuals with serious misdemeanors, multiple misdemeanors, and even felony convictions enter Canada for a fixed period of time. My guess is that the would not, especially if it is a recent violation. I even used to work for the DOT/FAA/DHS/TSA and had clearance to bypass check points for several years. Meaning it was dismissed with prejudice but I plead guilty would that disqualify me? Based on a dispute with my own brother that they originally charged as simple assaults mutual combat. If you receive a conviction, the program will revoke you. My family has already had theirs approved and scheduled for an in person interview. Got a speeding ticket when I was a minor (had JUST turned the age to get to license), supposedly got it removed for obtaining it. The expungement is not particularly relevant. Denial said I could use FOIA to find out why I was denied since the second time appeal answer did not provide any explanation this time around. If it was reduced to a misdemeanor and this took place many years ago, that could be an argument in a reinstatement request. Your analysis that neither resulted in a conviction appears faulty. I would highly doubt the program would accept you. I understand that it isnt possible to apply while under probation with withheld adjudication, but is withheld adjudication really treated as a conviction by the CBP even if the charge has been dismissed? Back in 2008I was detained by CBP for driving a vehicle with an ilegal alien. My global entry is expiring this year so I submitted a renewal application and received both a denial and revocation notice due to a customs violation. 2013 withheld adjudication of DUI charge is considered equivalent to conviction for Global Entry. I did waiting to just see a denial for an interview. I applied for Global Entry and went to the interview Jun 2021, I was not asked to bring in any documents and didnt. CBP might view a protection order as an ongoing security incident. We have the same address. or will this affect my passport eligibility? How long a wait is anyones guess. CBP should look at all the facts and circumstances. Will I ever be approved for the program? I am not familiar with that type of violation, however. They put me in Secondary and read me the riot act telling me that if I go through Sentri again with my automatic rear doors unable to open, they would take my Sentri away. I received a follow-up phone interview and was shocked when the investigator told me she already knew because she had called the US District Attorneys Office and spoke to someone involved with my case. Should I try? Why not inform the applicant up front so you are not wasting our time & money. Would I have to open up that can of worms in an interview? I would really appreciate it! I have won the DMV hearing and the charge has been dropped to a disorderly Conduct 240.20 segment 7 violation. Is this something I need to claim on my Global Entry Application? I have never heard of anyone receiving approval who had more than one misdemeanor conviction. At the time of my interview, I was asked for the disposition of the incident from 2007. But I dont want to waste my time applying if you think it may get denied based on the DHSs current approval practices.

I received Probation before Judgement (PBJ) in 2009 and unfortunately another one in 2019 for DUIs. Hola! Will I have a chance of getting approved? If you had a case, which it sounds like you did, I would contact the courthouse to obtain a certified copy of the disposition/minutes. Do you recommend going through the process again? I actually was able to find and purchase a certified copy of my misdemeanor from Jan. of 1972. Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI allow some foreign citizens to apply. Sidenote, I have a federal job and I am bonded with the state of CA. I did get a DUI in like 2005, but i listed that on my application and disclosed it in my interview. By the way, an FBI background check comes back 100% clean. I've done that and we'll see. Will I likely be denied? My husband got approved global entry yesterday and a few hours later the status went from approved to revoked. Hi, I failed to declare a customs gift for my husband returning from Nicaragua. If that is the only issue, it might be a good reinstatement case. CBP has denied SENTRI applicants in the past under a close association is an indication of risk basis. I honestly had no idea that it was considered a misdemeanor in Virginia. During my interview I was asked if I ever smoked marijuana, I did not lie and said yes. I have clearances with the Nuclear Regulatory Commision, etc. I was never charged and the case was dismissed. CBP needs to do a better job with people who have had old customs violations. Should he wait until the visa is processed, or can we apply now while it is still in progress? Should I bother getting these expunged or just submit them as is?I figure they already have access to these files. Hello Mr. Manley, first of all, thank you for having this and responding to so many people. However, I asked what would have happened if they hadn't been and was told that the underage consumption probably wasn't a problem but the paraphernalia charge could be. Have you heard of people being denied again after winning the appeal with Ombudsman? My guess is that two years is not long enough of a wait for CBP. Thoughts on ever getting it TT back?

Two cases had been purged. How long a wait is anyones guess. If this was a felony conviction, I doubt if the Ombudsmans office would overturn the prior decision. I have no priors and remain with a clean driving record. That was about 20 years ago. Am I going to be able to renew it? I would recommend obtaining certified copies of the court disposition or transcript (different courthouses use different names for it) so you can show CBP the disposition for this incident. Surprisingly the US Attorney confirmed everything I submitted and even though the conviction was over 30 years, she was calculating the time starting from the end of parole, which was over 20 years. I did. I do not know how it would be possible to get SENTRI in that situation. Should I reapply? I heard the new administration in the US there may be new guidelines? Should I? Unfortunately when have been convicted of "any criminal offense" - misdemeanor or not - they will in all likelihood refuse to issue you I would recommend obtaining certified copies of the court disposition or transcript (different courthouses use different names for it) so you can show CBP the disposition for this incident. We have since divorced. Ive never had any other incidents, when I applied for U.S citizenship in 2009 they asked me about the incident I went and got some records and that was it. I was instantly denied on the spot and told I would have to appeal the decision by writing to the program's ombudsman, but that it would likely not help since once you are denied it is very hard to get the decision reversed. Hi, my sentri card was revoked while the process to renewal it. Im an American citizen who was denied entry into the UK because they said I could not convince them that I was a tourist, which I was. I appealed and paid $100. If that was a one time only incident, you could have a good argument for reinstatement. I have never been questioned or fined or anything. I got my global entry revoked in the beginning of 2020, I believe it was because of an incident that happened when I was at the Canadian border at Washington State. Is it worth considering reapplying? We have been crossing the border nearly every day for 15 years. Ridiculous. It is a serial half-duplex and asynchronous type of communication protocol. Similar to customs violations, immigration violations seem to remain in a persons file.
