Good afternoon Our opinions are our own. I have a court date later this year. Do I have better chances at qualifying for TSA Precheck? If this was your only law enforcement/CBP incident, you might have a good reinstatement possibility. The FBI, California DOJ, and San Diego Sheriffs office recently issued me letters stating that I had no reportable criminal history. Ive never had any run ins with the law I currently have TSA precheck no immigration violation I travel frequently so I dont understand my denial. You may receive an initial denial as the program can reject for any criminal incidents. But lost my GE due this fact, guess the arrest warrant. What a waste of time. Alot of credit cards will credit you the application fee if the filing fee is an issue. The case was dismissed and my record was expunged, which I stated in the application. Your analysis that neither resulted in a conviction appears faulty. It also didnt show on my background check when I applied to get custody of my niece. I have a customs violation (agriculture) in year 2006 and I paid a fine for this violation. old, and I am considering reapplying for SENTRI. If you have been previously denied SENTRI and want to try again after the 10 year mark of the offense is it better to Reapply or Request Reconsideration? I just did a blog for Think Immigration where I discussed this issue. My wife and I had an agricultural fine for bringing a salami in from Italy about 10 years ago. I was denied on my application for Global Entry. The sentence was withheld adjudication. 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. Pay the $100 nonrefundable application fee. Is that true? You would have to prove them wrong by getting background checks, court records, etc Feel free to contact me if you want assistance with this. How should I have answered that question? I have nothing else on my record. It was a cold rainy night and we just wanted to get back into the US to go to our relatives house. Never had a problem with a CBP officer or smuggle anything to the country. They will also need to complete a customs declaration. How long a wait is anyones guess. How to correct that is anyones guess. You are also eligible to apply if you are a citizen of one of the following countries: Once approved, Global Entry members can use automatic kiosks at select airport locations. I share your frustrations. I was arrested for a DUII in 2016. We have crossed maybe twice in the last 10 years, mostly because of the long lines and since my son has Autism, it is very difficult for him to wait that long. She has ready lane. You want a travel credit card that prioritizes whats important to you. Is it worth waiting another 7 years to reapply? So I dont know what to do. I had a disturbance of peace infraction in 2017 that was dismissed and records expunged. I was approved and even traveled using my GE. Good afternoon, in 2011 I applied for the SENTRI but with the family (my father, mother and I), on the day of the interview my mother passed by and they gave her the card, when they interviewed me and my father, they asked us if we knew one person, who is my sister, who has had legal problems but we were unaware of those problems because she did not live with us, she is married, when we told her that she is my sister they denied us the sentri and took my mothers card, they did not let us explain anything . Hello Chris. You can use your Global Entry card through SENTRI or NEXUS lanes to expedite entry into the United States after traveling from Mexico or Canada. I really need it because i look after a parent and their doctor is in mexico and we need to go to have her seen. By minor violation, I am referring to a one time only criminal infraction or misdemeanor. Do I have a chance of getting a sentri pass? I think the passage of time plays a role in their decision-making. ago I became a US citizen. Ive written my reconsideration and I have still been denied. Im thinking maybe I typed in something incorrect. That person NEVER LIVED in that house, but we are screwed with cbp records and of course sentri, we applied for reconsideration and explained that we have nothing to do with the inmate but we were denied again. I had a felony conviction back in 2014 and was expunged in 2018. One day I failed to notice that my sick pitbull had not finished her lunch a raw chicken leg. 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. IN the interview he mentioned how he had an incident 10 years ago with a MIP for drinking alcohol in public. I have never heard of someone receiving SENTRI with more than one conviction. 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. Should I even consider applying? Much of it, I would imagine, would relate to the strength of your evidence and arguments. My stepson was convicted of drug possesion in 2013. I apply for SENTRI 10/23/2021. My wife went for her interview today . I am unclear how a person remedies this situation with CBP. Thank you for any input you may have. I thing the passage of time with no further negative incidents is more important than the expungement. No, with a criminal record, she is in eligible for SENTRI. Thank you for your time. Contact me if you want assistance. The expungement cannot hurt however and is a good idea. If you were charged as a minor, ie. Also before we cross, can I dial 911 and have the ambulance meet her at the border? Would a restraining order taken out against the card holder after Sentri was granted be a reason for the pass to be revoked? My status expires in 2023 and I submitted my renewal the day after I was eligible to renew due to the long waits I heard about. I presented all my certified court documents . I would simply acknowledge the violation and plead that its been so long and Ive proven that there have been zero problems since then. CBP generally likes to see the passage of time with no further negative incidents before reinstating an applicant. I have never heard of anyone getting approved who either had a felony conviction or had more than one conviction. I cant comment on TSA PreCheck. My mom who is a US citizen is 79 with poor health and she doesnt have sentri. I was able to use my youthful offender. The only possible thing that happened might have been a police incident report that never led to charges or arrest? Live in Mexico, need to cross border for work and Medical appointments. I currently hold a security clearance but they revoked my trusted traveler in 2019. I appreciate any input you may have, thank you again! I even used to work for the DOT/FAA/DHS/TSA and had clearance to bypass check points for several years. What Happened to the Trusted Traveler Ombudsmans Mailing Address. Would I be eligible for global entry? You have two law enforcement incidents. CBP can revoke your privileges with a misdemeanor offense. Any criminal conviction can result in a denial. My mom used to live in a room in a house that the owner gave the address to anyone. I heard the new administration in the US there may be new guidelines? If you are being questioned about it, obtain the court documentation on the incident. Unfortunately, customs or agricultural violations seem to stay on a persons record forever. I passed an FBI background check that gave me full access to an international airport where I was managing an IT project back around 2007. If you're denied for any reason, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has a process for appeals. I decided to contact the DOJ and in a phone conversation the DOJ agent stated that the DOJ only uses fingerprint records to report criminal history. I have filled out the Ombudsman form on the TTP website. I understand the fact that I am fully responsible for my luggage contents, but the way things progressed has made me wonder. I have 2 questions/concerns: He wants me to renew itis there a 10 year rule? Im in California. Should I bother to apply for Global Entry? About 10 years ago, I was pulled over under susipicion of DUI (completely unreasonably, I may add!) I applied for the GE program 5 years ago and was denied based on a felony minor conviction when I was 15. I was convicted of a wet reckless But, that is just one persons opinion. I had a DUI which was expunged from my record 9 years ago. But it seems that she blocked my Global entry. Does SENTRI include Global Entry? Is it worth applying again? Assuming I can not qualify for sentry, can I qualify for TSA precheck? I was stopped by police and it was proven I was not impaired or intoxicated. Most jurisdictions view disorderly conduct as a criminal offense. How long a wait is anyones guess. I am just concerned about it because when they sent me the email about revoking our cards they stated the reason as Lying in the application. If he pleaded guilty to a crime, which it sounds like he did, that could be grounds for revocation. He is not 32 and has not had another offense. They scanned it in and I got approved. Yes. is it a waste of time for me to apply? I have had clients who renewed their TSA/Precheck despite having been revoked from the Trusted Traveler program. Im not sure if I need to notify them now or just push it through next renewal. What else can i do if this is the only charge i have even though i was not. Obviously this is still an arrest and I would need to disclose it on the application and interview. Sounds like you old people in your 60s learning what its like for people in the modern age with ANY charge even if it wasnt a conviction. Should she bother applying for GE? I have two priors, the first one was for theft, when i was 17 years old. You should obtain certified copies of the court disposition or transcript (different courthouses use different names for it, ie. in CA and the officer took me to police station as I refused roadside test. That does not sound like a criminal incident, though. It doesnt matter whether you have completed probation, had a boderline BAC of 0.8, and had your record expunged. I got some lawyers and I was released after the lawyers argued the traffic stop was unlawful due their being no stop sign. I can not obtain any records.
