Cuba trip as reason for suitability denial.

Hello all

I just received this bad news regarding my suitability clearance for the CF position.

The Suitability Review Panel has concluded that your candidacy for employment as a Foreign Service CS/LNA should be terminated because of:

Criminal, dishonest, or notoriously disgraceful conduct as referenced in 3 FAM 2215.2-6 (4).

In reaching this decision, the Panel considered the following:

• You traveled to Cuba between October 31, 2023 and November 4, 2023 despite a federal prohibition against such travel, and failed to meet any of the exceptions permitted under U.S. law for such travel.

Has anyone been successful after appealing this decision recently?

I went from FL, and i marked support of cuban people as I was told. I stayed away from any government businesses. Stayed at a casa particular, ate at mom and pop places and supported local/independent guides.

I hope there is hope here.
