Global Entry Appeal | Trusted CBP Global Entry Appeal Lawyers
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), between 3-5% of the 30,000 monthly Global Entry applicants will be denied. While CBP typically provides a written reason for the denial, there are cases where the reason is vague or unclear. The denial often stems from past arrests, criminal convictions, or administrative customs violations. Unfortunately, even minor or decades-old infractions can lead to an immediate denial of Global Entry status.
If you’ve received a Global Entry denial or revocation, The National Security Law Firm (NSLF) is here to help. Our experienced Global Entry appeal lawyers are adept at investigating the reasons behind denials and revocations, collecting relevant documentation, and submitting compelling appeals on your behalf. Whether you’re facing a denial due to a criminal conviction, customs violation, or administrative error, our legal team is equipped to build a case that demonstrates your low-risk status and suitability for the program.
Why Choose the National Security Law Firm for Your Global Entry Appeal?
When it comes to Global Entry appeals, experience and insider knowledge matter. Not all lawyers understand the intricacies of Security Threat Assessments (STAs)—the very foundation of Global Entry decisions. These assessments are highly specialized evaluations conducted by security and intelligence agencies, designed to identify potential risks to national security.
Many civilian attorneys lack the deep understanding of STAs necessary to successfully navigate Global Entry appeals. NSLF’s founding attorney, Brett O’Brien, spent his military career conducting and reviewing STAs for the U.S. Army’s counterintelligence agency. His experience overseeing national security investigations gives NSLF a unique advantage in handling these appeals. We bring a level of insight that other civilian attorneys simply cannot match.
When you choose NSLF, you can trust that you’re in the hands of a legal team with a proven track record of Global Entry appeal successes. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to secure your Global Entry approval that we offer a Money-Back Guarantee: if we don’t succeed, we refund your legal fees in full.
What is Global Entry?
Global Entry is a CBP-administered trusted traveler program that provides expedited customs clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers arriving in the U.S. As part of the application process, applicants undergo a comprehensive background check and an in-person interview. While the $100 application fee is non-refundable, the program offers tremendous time-saving benefits for frequent international travelers, making it a worthwhile investment.
Unfortunately, many applicants are denied due to minor or outdated criminal offenses, even those that have been dismissed, expunged, or sealed. Additionally, denials may result from inaccurate or incomplete information in criminal records or customs violations.
If your Global Entry application is denied, it’s crucial to consult an experienced Global Entry appeal lawyer as soon as possible. A prompt appeal can greatly improve your chances of approval.
Who is Eligible for Global Entry?
CBP is granted broad discretion in determining who qualifies for Global Entry. Applicants must be citizens or legal residents of participating countries, and they must demonstrate a clean criminal background.
The regulations governing Global Entry, found in 8 CFR § 235.12, outline several disqualifying factors:
- Providing false information on the application
- Arrests or convictions, regardless of age or the severity of the offense
- Outstanding warrants or pending criminal charges
- Violations of customs or immigration laws
- Ongoing law enforcement investigations
- National security concerns or suspected terrorist affiliations
- Failing to meet the “low-risk” standard for the program
Given the subjective nature of these determinations, even applicants with seemingly minor infractions may find themselves denied. If this happens, NSLF’s Global Entry appeal lawyers are here to help.
