Just got denied. Reason was 'Other'
Have no clue what it can be. I have never been arrested or convicted of any crime. So I emailed the Ombudsman and basically said I have no clue why you denied me. Please look over my application again.
I did declare bankruptcy a year or so ago and am wondering if that has anything to do with it. But there was no question on the application about that.
Anyone have any ideas?

I just started a new thread on top of this one with more information. They basically asked questions about if I knew people based on my address. There were a few times that I said yes and a few that I said no and they asked who lived in the house with me.

Global Entry with Misdemeanor Charge
I have a misdemeanor assault charge on my record. I have never had any sort of trafficking or border issue. This charge was from a stupid drunk altercation at a bar. From what I am reading I should be able to get PreCheck but would prefer to get Global Entry and Pre-Check. What sucks is if I apply and use my credit for GE than I will have wasted it and won't be able to use it for PreCheck.
Thoughts on if you think there is any chance for approval? Anybody ever been approved with a misdemeanor on their record?

Were you merely charged, or were you convicted? Of what, exactly? Disposition? Anything in the charge that yells out Drunk and Disorderly? How long ago? How old were you then and now?

Unfortunately this happened recently about a year ago and I was convicted/plead guilty. It is a misdemeanor assault charge. I am not sure if DRUNK is attached or not.

How old are you and what was the sentence? Did it include any form of imprisonment, whether suspended or not? Any supervision such as probation or anything that looks like probation? Any restitution order to pay for damage / injury and did you pay that?
If so, when were you released from imprisonment / supervision?
A year old assault may be a bit difficult, so make sure that you've got answers to all of the above and can document everything. If you are still under any form of supervision such as probation or if you still owe restitution, that is usually the end of it.

After a certain amount of time (5, 10 years?) you may be eligible again, although there have been reports of lesser convictions from further ago disqualifying some applicants.
Apply for PreCheck; that doesn't appear to list misdemeanor assault as a disqualifying criminal conviction (see Part B):
