MYTH # 5 • “I Never Get a ‘Hit’”! Records always come back clear.
• Historically, the hit rate for International Searches is extremely low versus domestic: 1 - 2% v. 10%. • In many instances, a person cannot leave their country for the U.S. if they have a criminal record, thus resulting in lower hit rates. • “Hits” vary dramatically by country: in some countries criminal records can be “Spent” (i.e., Australia). • “Hits” can be more prevalent in some countries (i.e., Philippines and Canada vs. India).
