Any unfavorable information has a binding effect about/on the applicant

Explanation:
...as it might be considered a resaon for his/her rejection of entry.

I did get rid of some literal translations but "caracter viculante", probably carries more of a direct cause&effect sense here.i.e. applicant has bad info on him/her...then... a very possible reason that s/he will be rejected.
