I am a US citizen who applied for Nexus about 5 years ago and was denied based on a DUI charge that was dropped - they basically said that I needed to provide evidence that I "wasn't convicted," even though there's no conviction on my record. I also neglected to initially report a misdeamor arrest for disturbing the peace as a conviction, that occured over 40 years ago when I was 18 and forfieted bail, per my lawyer's guidance. I'm not looking for legal advice on my Nexus application, but I'm wondering how likely it is I will be be denied entry if I just show up at the border?

Thanks for the detailed answer. Could this be handled by a US lawyer, or would I need to go through a Canadian lawyer (such as yourself), presumably one that specializes in immigration?
