Hoping I get accepted... but I was wondering if anyone ever received this Eligibility Determined notification and was rejected in the mail?
This points to the importance of keeping attested or certified copies of the final judgment, dismissal or other documentation relating to the disposition of even minor matters.
I have no idea what the misdemeanor was and it is not important. What is important is that the systems in place do a horrible job of accurately reporting anything other than Guilty and Not Guilty. Even with those, there are jurisdictions which do a sloppy job and therefore final dispositions are not properly matched up.
This stuff is not just important for Pre-Check, but for any number of jobs requiring security clearances, financial clearances, and the like.
It is far better to spend the extra few dollars at the end of a case to obtain the documents, put them in a file and keep them with your other important documents. Forever.
It is possible that one can reconstruct an old dismissal or the like, but that can take a lot of time, effort & money.
