I am a U. S. Customs and Border Protection Officer on the southwest border between Mexico and the United States. I know the ins and outs of the job as seen on TV/News and things intentionally hidden from the media! There's more to this job than "Anything to declare?" I dont know all but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have! All answers are my opinion, and my opinion only!
The port won't give you any answers, legally they are not allowed to. You can submit a FOIA request but you may also get vague answers with that as well. I can almost guarantee, by the information you provided, you were not given any criminal record by us. It's more than likely they just wrote you a fine and sent you on your way. Hope this helps.
When we take your fingerprints, all of your arrest records from anywhere in the country can be viewed. As a Legal Permanent Resident, if you committed certain crimes, we can set you up with an NTA to see a judge for formal removal proceedings. In other words, you will lose your Resident status and be deported back to your country of citizenship.
Only if the officer decided to put notes in the system about you lying before, then yes we will know.
He might have a crush on you too. It is inappropriate for the Officer to ask you out on a date, which could be the reason why he didn't yet. Theres nothing wrong with you asking ;)
Try checking again to see if it was updated. Sometimes there are system errors, thats the only thing I can think of.

Unfortunately, there is no national recruiter program for CBP. Some ports do have recruiters, however. You can locate a Port of Entry near you and give them a call to see if they have a recruiter program.
Here is the career's website for CBPO and Border Patrol positions: https://www.cbp.gov/careers
Also, this unofficial forum is what I used to gather information: https://forums.delphiforums.com/customsinspect.
Finally, I am more than happy to answer any questions you have that you can't find an answer to.
Good luck on your journey!
Just like with local law enforcement, you can ask to speak with a supervisor at any time. As an officer and public servant, we are required to notify the supervisor.
I apologize, I misread your question. It would only be 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I).
Nothing changes when adding the issue in Canada unless they decided to bar you for 5 years. You would be made aware if you were.
