I went to the active U.S. Army in 2000, where my Army recruiter told me he would have those two charges dropped if I went into the Army. I was sent to Inspection but I didnt go to Inspection I went straight thinking it was that way I had 7 CBP officers run down to get me with. You should ask for a certified letter of the results of that. I hired a lawyer and did everything I was told to do, including community service. CBP generally likes to see the passage of time with no further negative incidents before approving or reinstating an applicant. Im wondering whether I made a mistake on my GE application.

My brother just found out that his estranged wife filed a DV Prevention case seeking a restraining order. I filed and was granted an expungement in 2006. I do not generally get involved in the application process John. I have been cited for driving without a license (paid the fees from an old ticket in another county that I had forgotten about and got it all cleared) and they attempted to charge me with another misdemeanor but that case was dismissed due to the fact that it was not me (mistaken identity).

Should I indicate that I do have a low-level misdemeanor on my record and to hope for mercy from the interviewer? CBP should look at all the facts and circumstances. My question is I have never had any problems with law enforcement or tickets but Ive heard that for Global entry and Sentri they do a background check and that if a direct family member had felonies they will denied me is it true?
