Other than Canada, which nations use a single, most frequent sort of DUI conviction in the US to exclude non-citizens from visiting in the way Canada does to those US persons convicted of such DUI?

If it's "numerous other nations", it must be a very small minority number of nations.

In how many countries has US's CEO been denied entry for driving drunk? Most of the countries that US serves? Doubtful.

What is a real clearance? As an aside not all "armed forces" members receive the same type of clearance what are you on about?


And what makes you think OPM or DIA or any other clearance investigating arm is going to yank a TS (or even TS-SCI for example) because someone goes to the media about a generic trusted traveller concern? Yankee White...maybe, but of course how many of them are trusted "sources" for media types already...

Someone with that type of clearance is much more likely to lose it by leaving the country wihtout prior approval or country briefing than bringing up a generic absurdity with DHS hacks.

What's a real clearance? Anything below TS? TS/SCI? Confidential? I, frankly, have never even seen anyone with that one... Armed forces members just get a basic NACLC "investigation", but are not adjudicated for anything else unless they need it, unless there has been changes as of late.

Either way, going to the media may not be such a great of an idea, not only because of the reasons you mentioned...

If the immigration officer is puritan enough, (s)he can classify DUI as a crime of moral turpitude, and that will make one inadmissible.

Quite right :)

No. Do a little research.

A simple DUI can't be a CIMT.

Nor can felony DUI be one for that matter.

IIRC It depends.

For example, in the Air Force all officers must normally rate a Secret for commissioning.
However as you mention most others of course are unit/job specific. I've flown with some units where everyone had to have TS/SCI just to get in the door.

Other multinational units add to the complications depending on the NOFORN rules. Although I do find some of OPM's contract investigators lack of knowledge about multi-national units humourous. I've seen them ask people at NATO "if they worked with any foreign nationals" :rolleyes: then to list all the foreign nationals they worked with which would require reems of extra paper for some...but I digress.

It does not work that way in the real world. It would not make it past the supervisory review that has to occur before that decision would be processed. It is never one officer's decision. In addition, adverse action cases are subject to review after the fact as well for basically quality assurance purposes. This is to ensure that case work is being done correctly and meets legal sufficiency.

Sure it can. Just ask the SBA!

OPM investigators do tend to do humorous things! I do remember that getting permission to disclose some elint information to a RCAF officer involved considerable paperwork.

I've always wondered how multi national units work when it comes to access. IIRC, the weapons station Kings Bay, GA has a somewhat large British (and I believe French) presence.

All officers in the five branches have to have Secret for commissioning. I was rather talking about your lowest common denominator and the majority of the force - I doubt that a guy in the infantry will go past anything but NACLC, just to make sure he's not wanted for stealing some candy in bum-buck-nowhere USA.

SBA? What do they have to do with this?

My SBA loan was denied because I committed a crime of moral turpitude, namely the DUI. I'm awaiting results of a higher-instance review right now. Just saying that they can equate DUI to a CIMT.

But CBP can't. There is no grey area. DUI is not a CIMT for immigration purposes.

For US immigration purposes, indeed CBP can't and doesn't (unless there is a glitch somewhere). Just to make sure there is no gray area there.

Uh...
 

No!!! Most people I know in the program have never been arrested/charged/convicted of anything.
