Is there a chance that we still can get a notice from CBP at our mail? 2: What can be the reason that he took my wife’s passport and what can be its repurcussions?

Welcome to FlyerTalk [MENTION=10053677]ankit215[/MENTION]!

Since, as pointed out by [MENTION=100980]HkCaGu[/MENTION], it does not appear that you have Global Entry but are concerned about being penalized at a later time, I moved your question to a more relevant thread. Even though the title of this thread mentions a $300 fine, there are many reported incidents here where the travelers got away with just a warning.

BTW, our posting rules do not permit cross-posting, I deleted your duplicate message from the other thread where you posted.
