    Surely they must have access to visa or ESTA applications made with that passport, at least. There are a few systems that are mentioned in connection with passport control; unfortunately, I don't remember what they are right now. Other countries, I'm not so sure.

    Yes they have access to some details from other countries, as some of the western countries share data. But exactly what all that encompasses is not public knowledge, since that would alert the "bad" folks what to avoid to elude detection. But if you are worried about a petty issue, like traffic violations or minor crimes (shoplifting etc) I don't think that is shared. If you are worried about an immigration problem in another country, i suppose it would depend on where and what.

  • They can only see entries to third countries if the other country tells the US (or stamps it in your passport). The chip is read only (and many people still have paper-only passports).

  • Being narrowed down to a single country, this is not too broad. Voting to leave open.
