Global Entry Program Denial and Revocation – What You Should Know

We receive calls each week regarding the denial or revocation of Global Entry Privileges by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP” or “Customs”).


What is Global Entry?


Under 8 C.F.R. 235.12(a):


The Global Entry program is a voluntary international trusted traveler program consisting of an integrated passenger processing system that expedites the movement of low-risk air travelers into the United States by providing an alternate inspection process for pre-approved, pre-screened travelers. (Emphasis added).


In addition, under 8 C.F.R. 235.12(b)(2):


Disqualifying factors. An individual is ineligible to participate in Global Entry if CBP, at its sole discretion, determines that the individual presents a potential risk for terrorism, criminality (such as smuggling), or is otherwise a low-risk traveler. This risk determination will be based in part upon an applicant’s ability to demonstrate past compliance with laws, regulations, and policies. Reasons why an applicant may not qualify for participation include:


(i) The applicant provides false or incomplete information on the application;


(ii) The applicant has been arrested for, or convicted of, any criminal offense or has pending criminal charges or outstanding warrants in any country;


(iii) The applicant has been found in violation of any customs, immigration, or agriculture regulations, procedures, or laws in any country;


(iv) The applicant is the subject of an investigation by any federal, state, or local law enforcement agency in any country;


(v) The applicant is inadmissible to the United States under applicable immigration laws or has, at any time, been granted a waiver of inadmissibility or parole;


(vi) The applicant is known or suspected of being or having been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism; or


(vii) The applicant cannot satisfy CBP of his or her low-risk status or meet other program requirements.
