Has the money that DHS requested for the 2011 FY even been approved yet?

That's what we are talking about.

People are saying things are going to happen in October because the 2011 Fiscal Year starts October 1st. Keep in mind that just because the Fiscal Year starts in October, that doesn't mean that the agencies get their money for 2011 then. Most agencies do not receive their budget money until November-December...

Same exact thing was said last year and nothing happened then either. If I recall nobody on this forum, reading this thread got "the call" if any. Maybe 1 or 2 did.

Oh, yeah, just realized a few more months and its been 3 years since I took the written test for this job in Miami. Yay.

2 guys got the call over the past year and a half, Both for bumblefart, SW border. Scratch that, I think one of them was for BP.

I found my old account. It's been so long. I'm already 37 years old.

Does anyone know what happens if you call the CASS hotline and when it says..... "You have been referred to the scheduling unit. Generally an applicant can expect to be contacted to schedule their entrance on duty and/or training in 30 - 60 days. If not contact by 90 days SAY OPERATOR to be connected." Anyone tried?

Hello everyone, afer reading some posts, it is my understanding that you can get a job and not have to notify Minneapolis for that change. The new job offering that I have is a part time one which does require for me to get my credit pulled. Being that I am being re evaluated for my background. Is it better perhaps to let them know about it, so they don't think I'm trying to hide something from them? or should I let them know about it?
Any imput would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Well bad news folks--- for me that is. Im am dissapointed and disguested with polygraphs, yep, you guessed it, i failed this one. I have taken polygraphs before and passed others, this one i failed. I told them absolutely everything honestly and truthfully and after the test the agent sat and asked me "is there anything your worried about" I told him "if i was trying to keep something from him or the test i would have come out and say it- id rather tell the truth the whole truth rather than set myself up for failure" I cannot understand why an honest person would fail this test, i feel like a freakin machine is trying to say something different than what my brain says. It just goes to show that these are the reasons polys arent admissable in court. Anyone can pass and or fail one. The agent said he was gonna find out what to do next, and asked if there was any reason why i wouldnt take one again, i said i will and would take another if they wanted to give me one again. Like i said before i have taken some before and have passed with flying colors, i dont understand why i could have failed this one-- it was either the nerves that got the best of me driving there, or just the fact that i wanted the job so bad i completely got nervous on this test. Anyway, i will keep yall posted if anything changes, chances are im done. Oh well maybe it was meant to be.

[TuffStuffCBP]

Utter bummer. Keep trying and don't give up, maybe the next one you will pass.

[Akito]

I'm sorry to hear that as well TX, I really do hope that you get another crack at it. Maybe then they will realize that good honest people can also fail and give people another chance if need be.
Cheers.
