I have those court documents from the attorney. I had an attorney in 2010 get those two charges dismissed in court based on the statute of limitations something like over 10 years had passed when he went to court after the arrests occurred, so he stated it was pretty simple for him to get the charges dismissed. I thought my adult record was clean until 2010, when I found out that I had warrants for these two charges from 2000 to 2010. I got out of the Army, and in 2010 I found out that the recruiter did not do anything with the courts when I left for the Army. The whole time I am serving overseas for 4 years with a Secret Clearance (honorable discharge, BTW), I thought my adult record was clean due to my recruiter. Army in 2000, where my Army recruiter told me he would have those two charges dropped if I went into the Army. However, I also have two expunged misdemeanor separate arrests on my adult record dating back to 19 (underage drinking and misdemeanor possession of controlled substances вЂ“ marijuana). It has now passed the 10-year threshold with no negative incidents since. Hello вЂ“ I had a 2011 misdemeanor conviction for DUI. Would I be flagged for GE forever or is it worth trying this again in a few years? I successfully got TSA Precheck immediately afterwards but as I do travel to Asia (once things open up again), I did like the GE process and personally did nothing wrong. I have not tried to re-apply and figure that this event was the only thing that caused the revokation as I had no personal issues nor any criminal or law enforcement issues, personally. I requested information about it but they said that basically вЂњI did not qualify for the program any longerвЂќ. About 8 months after this happened, my GE was revoked. We had a tablet shipment in 2017 that was mislabeled by the shipper as assembled in the USA but were actually made in China and these were seized by CBP when they had a random inspection.(We did not advise them to put these stickers on them) They did not give us a chance to re-export them or correct them and we heard they were destroyed. I work for a computer company who imports from China and I am the purchaser. In summary, an applicant with one very minor violation and a solid ten years of rehabilitation should be able to qualify for the Trusted Traveler Program.

One possible example of a minor customs incident could include a failure to declare a shopping item which should have been declared. I would also include a very minor customs incident into this definition as well. I saw the following language in a Global Entry membership decision letter: вЂњвЂ¦has a 2010 DUI arrest and conviction within 10 years.вЂќ To me, this does indicate that the Trusted Traveler Program is at least today following this policy.Д«y minor violation, I am referring to a one time only criminal infraction or misdemeanor. I recently saw a reference to this policy in writing. But, I had never seen a reference to this policy in writing.

Clients/prospective clients who went to their Global Enrollment Center interviews told me that the officers themselves mentioned a 10 year policy with regard to a minor violation. In my own experience, I have successfully argued for Reconsideration or Reinstatement of Trusted Traveler privileges for clients who had a single minor violation which was more than ten years old. Global Entry, SENTRI, NEXUS all have the same eligibility criteria.

You can find the official CBP policy for the Trusted Traveler program HERE.

My suspicion was that the OmbudsmanвЂ™s office had an unofficial 10 year policy relating to one time violations. I have long suspected that the CBP Ombudsman might have an unofficial policy relating to one-time minor violations.
