Going through customs can be unnerving and problematic for everyone. You’ve got to deal with long lines, uncertainty over what’s considered a contraband item, and the possibility of being denied entry to the country you’re visiting. But it can be even worse for ex-cons. Just ask the so-called Hot Felon, ____ ____. He was reportedly denied entry into the UK last month, even though he’d secured a work permit, was scheduled for a series of magazine shoots, and had permission from his parole officer to travel.

Speaking of travel…what’s the status on that IML mark that was supposed to be on our passports a year ago?
Did they go forward with informing other countries more than they already were but just not put the mark on yet?
While crossing the border from a recent trip to our southern neighbor, I was sent to secondary as expected. The Border Patrol officers are, for the most part, very professional and cordial. Not this time however. I had a chip on the shoulder female agent of Hispanic origin that played 20 questions, made me get out of the vehicle, rifled through everything and even frisked myself and the passenger. That was a first! A tactic they use is rapid fire questions, where were you, why were you there, what were you doing, how long were you there, who do you know there, what’s in your bag, etc, etc, but never anything about my record. I’ve crossed the border dozens of times in the past 7 years, always sent to secondary where the check my record out or look for who knows what. Just a little info I thought I’d share.
I have a few questions? I plead to a Felony Battery 20 years ago17B/expunged/summary probation. Not child related!
I’ve visited Canada, PI, Costa Rica, DR and etc
I’ve always been stopped coming back. Canada and Florida very professional. LAX rude
Are these countries just banning child related things?
Has anyone tried to get into Germany or any of the other schengen countries?
My recent travel experiences to the EU have also been without problem. In March 2016 I entered at Amsterdam, and last November at Venice. On the return, weather forced an unplanned overnight stay at Heathrow (London) where I was admitted for 48 hours without comment. But wait, there’s more! I also traveled by bus from Italy and Slovenia to Croatia (not in the Schengen area) and back again, no problem. So I say go ahead and travel to Europe, but beware of flying to Ireland or the UK — you may get the bum’s rush.
Has anyone here ever tried to study abroad? If so, which country?
I live in Ca. Just registered. I saw nothing regarding the 21 day travel thing? I asked (it’s clerks) regarding the travel notification. They looked confused
what’s the possibility of me getting a passport renewed with a hands on offense?
Curious for everyone’s feedback.
My husband’s passport expires in June 2018.
He will (supposedly) be removed from the registry at the end of March 2018.
We have business travel that would require us to go to Europe in February 2018.
We are considering getting his passport renewed immediately, but worried that it might come back with the mark. We won’t be able to do our Feb travel w/o renewing because his passport won’t have 6 months of validity on it. If you were us, would you cancel the travel and hope that, once he’s off the list, he’ll be able to renew his passport and get a clean one? Do you think passports renewed right now might come back w/o it, or be immediately revoked? Or do you think we’re all pretty much boned regardless, and all of the passports are going to have the mark (even after he’s off the list?)?
I guess it’s all conjecture at this point but would appreciate opinions or feedback.
Thank you.
