I have yet to see one story of anyone actually denied entry to SXM. I have seen EHAS applications originally denied and then approved with 're-submission. In my own case in November, I was originally denied because I got click happy on the form instead of taking my time and reading each question. After the initial denial, I took my time and checked my application, saw my mistake and resubmitted for pre-approval. SXM has not had the most simple or clearly explained process, but it is all there if you take your time and follow their requirements. TTOL has been an invaluable tool in helping to understand the process and learn from fellow travelers the best practices that work.
