Originally posted by cajunchik View PostI took my test in April of this year and I've completed everything except the BI which they came out today. The BI told me that they wanted the report back from her by october 12. She also couldn't believe that my signature date was from august 1, 09. She said that most people are usually investigated 9 months to 18 months after the date they signed which brings me back to my earlier post about getting people ready to go with retests and new people squared away. I know it's wishful thinking but you never know!!CBPO East Texas

Originally posted by sandwichman View PostBI interview for me is tomorrow after work. They asked me for 3 additional references that I didn't include on eQuip (2 people who know me socially and a coworker). Prior employer to current job was visited already, current sup has been interviewed, current HR dept will be visited soon.
Had the BI interview today and it lasted 2.5 hours. Both of my parents were born in Europe in former Eastern Block countries, and the investigator needed clarification on why my mom was born in one country but got a passport from another; how my father came into the country, are either of them dual citizens, etc. Another question that was asked was who she or my father speaks to from the old country on a regular basis, along with their names ages, and cities of residence, or who I speak to on a regular basis. The investigator also wanted to know why we lived in Venezuela for a while (pre-Chavez, in the early 80s), what nationalities were the companies my father had worked for; had any of my relatives ever supported governments that were opposed to this one, what the name of my elementary school was in Venezuela, why my family moved around, etc.
Everything I put on the SB-86 was basically gone over with a fine tooth comb, and I was asked if any of that info had changed (finances, prior residences I may have omitted, jobs, assets, drug use, criminal history, etc, etc).
My investigator told me that I'll have to go through the background investigation again every 5 years if I get the job. If I remember correctly he said any fed. agency job that requires security clearance has this as a mandatory policy. He didn't go into specifics but said he's been doing contract work for Uncle Sam as an investigator for several years and does the BIs for 5-6 different agencies.
Other things he said were that the fiscal year ends in August/Sept (which coincides with what you guys have said on here, new fiscal year starts in Oct) and that agencies try to squeeze in last minute hires around Sept, and that in the past the summers had been very busy as far as hiring goes, and that there has been a hiring surge for CBP agents. From what I gathered, it sounded to me like hiring in the fall usually slows down, probably in part due to Thanksgiving and Christmas being right around the corner but picks up in the summers.Last edited by sandwichman; 10-01-2009, 01:02 AM.CBP written test Miami, FL

Your test score is no longer relevant once you've received a TO. Yes, you're hired based on your TSU date, which may or may not change...depending on whether or not a person leaves TSU and for what reasons.
