And on top of that, I was pretty upset that from May 2017 to September (when I had my interview), they had time to vet. Why did they invite me for an interview in the first place?

Has anyone hired an attorney to appeal a denial? Do you think that the attorney provided significant value added over a self drafted letter to the ombudsmens office? How much did it cost? |

For starter - to know the chance, a denied applicant has to know what CBP actually has against the applicant. They are both exempted from FOIA/PA and restricted from discovery. In other word - you are trying to fight when you know nothing about the situation. Ombudsman's Office is your best and only bet. |

I used a lawyer he FOI'd CBP and obtained my records for this exact purpose-- what's the reference you make to CBP not having to comply with FOI requests?
I did not say CBP needs not to comply a FOI request. I said certain information is exempted from disclosure under (b)(7). If you have read your FOI response from CBP, have you seen any "(b)(7)"? |

I filed a FOIA request. The reply was that no records could be located. The reply did not make any reference to FOIA exemptions or state that were no releasable records could be located. |
Global entry denied
Recently had an interview in the Seattle center. Got denied for following reason. Any recommendations ?
You are ineligible for the Global Entry Program for the following reason(s): Marijuana use. Under the Controlled Substance Act possession and use of marijuana is illegal. |
Unless they have confused you for someone else with the same name there is nothing you can do,
Did you admit to it or did they find out during their processes? |

It is a Schedule I controlled substance. Even you may not be convicted by the U.S. District Court, but state court, possession of a controlled substance without proper reasons is still a federal offense. Unless it get delisted from the Schedules totally (which means never), it is impossible for you to get GE. |

Simply forget it.

You'd be better off writing to Father Christmas for the good it will do I imagine. I doubt they will discriminate as to whether it was in or outside of the US, or whether you inhaled.
