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.

Coming from backgrounds in the avant-garde and jazz, Juvenile incidents are generally sealed and not considered adult criminal offenses. (Non-drug and not involving and CBP-type violations). Does that count as a criminal offense, and will it mean that I can not get global entry? 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 dispositions for these incidents. I tried to get information about the incident but they never really gave me an answer of what my violation was. Thank you, John. Is there any process I can follow? Or, as my lawyer suggests, since I can truthfully state that Ive never been convicted just leave it out of the application? I am unclear how a person remedies this situation with CBP. Let me know if I can help. Should I appeal the appeal or should I just reapply? And is there a way I can run a background check on myself to see what all comes up. (like kids, thats not professional) and finally the agent give my sentri card to the supervisor, he told the agent he would take care of it, the supervisor told me to be quits and walk me over to secondary, (maybe the buddy system?) Is that correct? I have 2 questions/concerns: I am not sure what you mean by outstanding arrest. CBP can deny for any criminal conviction. I had declared a gift but they said it was the wrong price.

Since my records are sealed, if I asked for the CORI report from MA, it would likely come back blank. Private credit checking pre-employment databases do show an arrest. I had an agriculture fine in the day my GE approved via enrollment on arrival. Ive never had any trouble with the law or had any issues at the border ever. Is that (lying in the application) a reason for them to deny the cards, or should I still try to apply again?

IN the application itself however he did not mention the MIP because he was never actually arrested and thus didnt think it was necessary. Do you think this misdemeanor will prevent approval for GE? Most jurisdictions view disorderly conduct as a criminal offense. However, we left the country in the beginning of January and a couple days after I got an email saying my GE had been revoked. Hello Mr. Manley, first of all, thank you for having this and responding to so many people. I was undocumented for at least 10 years in the US prior to becoming documented. Although the uninformed/unprepared agent kept asking the same when did you apply for your case to be ok in the country? My answer didnt matter. I would recommend obtaining certified copies of the court disposition, minutes, or transcript (different courthouses use different names for it) so you can show CBP the disposition for this incident. Your analysis that neither resulted in a conviction appears faulty. CBP will ultimately look at the facts and circumstances of any violation. Im sure my girls would pass, but what would be your thoughts on the chance I will be approved too? I have since passed several background checks, but was denied a firearm in 2011. Hopefully, the CBP officer reviewing your case will approve. If you were never charged, you would not have had a case at all. Would I get denied for SENTRI if I declare I live with him?

Declare all relevant information, however. How long should I expect it to take? Thanks. You should declare all criminal incidents regardless of whether they were expunged.

Hello I had a 2011 misdemeanor conviction for DUI. Case was dismissed after serving community service. Three months ago I requested my criminal record reports from the FBI, California DOJ, and the local sheriffs dept. I had forgotten about it till questioned during my interview. Does the first ticket still impact my chances of getting approved? Ive had Global Entry for 10 yrs already and its time for renewal but the current renewal application is much more detailed than I remember, now asking to list arrests, not just convictions. 2 arrests.
