Haven't found a lot of info on this topic. Assuming the situation of a naturalized US citizen being in the application process with federal agencies (FBI, IRS, ICE and DEA) for 1811 positions, and with state, county and local police, would a 5 year length of history in the US make it worthless to apply?
Let's assume that the candidate is competent and does bring decent skills to the table - for instance, accounting skills, foreign language, engineering degree, clean background, physical fitness etc, can the issue of not having lived in the US long enough (5 - 5.5 years) at the time of applying be a deal breaker, from doing the BI point of view?
Would this be the same across the table with all agencies, or are police agencies likely to be a little more lenient than federal agencies (based on the assumption that it might not matter to a local PD if the family lives overseas, vs let's say, the FBI, or that school or most of the childhood was in a different country)?
Also, is it true that one must have been naturalized for at least a year before being considered by the Feds (internal policy I believe), I think I read it somewhere on a message board.
Anyone know of anyone who got hired without too much of a length or history in this country (by any agency at any level)? Trying to find some motivation here..
I personally believe that local LE might be a little open on this since there are agencies that will hire people with green cards, so they must have taken the possibility of foreign contacts, school overseas, friends overseas etc. into consideration. Would this be accurate?
Yes, I am talking about myself and this is a future scenario (not naturalized yet, but close to being eligible).
Appreciate any inputs..thanks much..hope this does not fall into the category of a "crystal ball" question..
