what recent lawsuit?
Thanks for doing this!!
NY Level 1, there’s a new lawsuit….. and it will succeed.
I applaud Janices efforts…as evidently no one in NY is willing to do so. While the passport scarlet letter is certainly egregious….. if Angel Watch Letters still go out to other countries…we will still be denied entry….= embarrassment, confusion, waste of $, waste of time, harassment by customs upon return to US, more pain for our families. That practice needs to be stopped, and be part of this fight, or it’s all for naught…..i can barely understand if letters were sent in cases where we do not notify regarding our plans for travel…..but the way it is…. we cannot travel at all with our families, even if our intentoons are transparent….innocent and communicated.
I do have a question. I have an expunged misdemeanor battery from 20 years ago. I won’t fall into this category, but I’ve declined to travel Internationally since I’ve read about Foreign countries no longer allowing you to visit (I’ve been to PI, Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cayman Islands and Costa Rica). I’ve not tried since. I wonder what would happen now? I’m still required to register, but conviction free? I’ve only been bothered when re entering the country. Let’s hear from someone with real knowledge! I imagine your fighting this because you can still visit select countries and the stamp etc will provide whatever country you visit this info.
Has Janice posted information about the new IML lawsuit on this website? I don’t want to wait for the call-in and would like to know the details ASAP. Which district/circuit, etc? I want to contribute toward this effort.
Hey ACSOL, is this call-in meeting only to ask questions/make commets or can people call in and just listen?
May I confirm that this call will be recorded and linked on this site? I cannot join at that time, unfortunately, but really need to hear the update. Several international trips on my work calendar and the ever-increasing fear I have around this issue is big. Thanks, Janice…
Constitution states… when your prison time is over there will be no further persecution for the crime. The IML passport stamp IS further persecution… Discrimination..turned away not allowing entrance..all kinds of problems. Yet…they not making drunk drivers or murderers register or have a stamp. I have purchased real estate in anouther country and plan on retiring there in a year or two. Now I gotta worry about a descrimatory passport stamp. If I get turned away at the border for this stamp…I’d have to sell my property and give up my pursuit for happinesses. I’m all for stoping traffickers yes…but I’m not convicted of that nor going to a region that’s known for trafficking. I did get turned away from Cancun vacation unfairly tho.
For the NY Level 1 Caller who called the NY SOR regarding intended international travel.
I had actually called them in November, and the person I spoke with didn’t have a clue about IML or what I was required to do. She mentioned nothing at all about sending them a Letter with intended travel dates. On the advice of my Attorney, I did actually end up sending them a Certified Letter regarding my travel, even though it wasn’t sent 21 days in advance.
I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this but I never can ask a question on the conference calls. I have pressed 5* and nothing. Perhaps this feature could be explained at the beginning of the calls. Much appreciated.
I was wondering if the “scarlet letter” was going to be flashed into the digital part of the passport. This would make the point about where the stamp was located almost moot as it will be most likely be scanned at the place of entry.
Does anyone know if California 647.6 as a misdemeanor is covered under IML? My husband has never been on any website.
I just listened to the IML recording and since it aired yesterday, I could not call in. I have a question about the 21 day International Travel Notice. I am reading that according to Title 1 of the AWA and SORNA, this is a federal law. This is where I get confused. So, if you live in Californian, a non SORNA or AWA state, are you still required to give notification, and if so, is this for any offense or only those involving minors?
So now we wait until February 9th for the Government to respond.
Does anyone know what would happen if they didn’t respond?
They won’t respond by then except maybe to ask for an extension.
As a holder of 2 passports(I’m a dual citizen of the US and Portugal) I wonder how this will effect me. If they still want to mark my US passport they can have it. I can fly freely on my Portuguese passport.
This may have already been seen by most of you but it’s interesting to me. Maybe there is some hope in Florida after all.

So today I did something I had thought to give up on. I applied to renew my passport which expired last year.
The conference call recording gave me some hope that traveling to Europe is still an option. For fun I also applied for a passport card. I believe the state department said we cannot get those. I’m curious to see how they handle my request. I will let everyone know if I get the Scarlet stamp or a denial letter or if all goes smoothly.
