I just went through a similar situation. Arrest was more than 10 years prior, system did not show that charges were dropped, was unable to obtain confirmation from any law enforcement, DA's office. Fortunately, we spoke with a lawyer at the time, who was nice enough to write a letter, confirming that the charges were dropped. CBP interviewing officer asked lots of questions, in the end "recommended me for GE".
