This is actually incorrect - SE imported all active 1.0 characters into ARR regardless of level/story progression (my level 1 GLA alt on Gungnir was imported for instance), so if one of your 1.0 characters isn't showing up in your character selection screen, it's possible it might have been on an account that was suspended/closed. Any characters you once had but deleted also will not have been imported either.

Otherwise, contact SE about this - during Beta phase 3 and 4 1.0 players were meant to check to see if their 1.0 characters had been properly imported into the game so it is sadly possible some might have slipped through the net so to speak.
