[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am asking the DCUM crystal ball what my husband and I's chances are of getting approved for global entry.

Me: Arrest for theft at age 17 (2000). Went through diversion program so it never went on my record. There was no court. No conviction. 12 years ago (when I applied for the bar) the only info available was the phone call record from when someone reported it to the police. Current federal employee.

Husband: Arrest for DUI in 2005 or so (can't remember the exact year). Was pled down to obstructing traffic and he paid a fine.

Do we have any hope? I applied before I realized they were so strict! (Guess I just assumed stuff from years ago wouldn't matter but read posts on the internet about DUI convictions from 40 years ago resulting in a denial). I guess at least my kids will be approved lol.  [/quote]

So arrested at 17 but no conviction?  Most likely juvenile courts. It will depend on the state what is released or expunged at 21. You may have no record at all because of the diversion program. You should pull your police record for the state. You have to be truthful on the application/interview. Usually it’s have you been convicted or pled guilty to a misdemeanor, etc in the past 10 years. If they ask have you ever been arrested, you have to say yes. If you lie your done.

Your DH pled guilty. Got lucky with the obstructing traffic. Depending on the state it will stay on your record for 3-11 years. Again it is usually 10 years. Should be able to find inform on the site https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/eligibility[/quote]

We were both truthful on the application. I believe the point of the diversion was so that it never went on my record. I applied for the bar almost 15 years ago and at that time the only record we could find was 1) the call log from when someone reported it and 2) a juvenile profile which just indicated offense but gives no other information. But this was just what I could gain access to so who knows what the feds might see but have passed multiple background checks since.

I was looking for information for DH but its a super small rural county. Not sure how much I can find without phone calls unfortunately. [/quote]
