Contact MHC via one of the methods listed in your NOR; email, fax, or snail mail.

If you got a TO tentative offer, they will not allow you to change your location.

I got it too...but I am not in TSU (anymore anyway)....I was until my medical and DT expired on 1/14.

My background went back to "pending/Your case is in the security office." sometime last week.

Now I have Med/Drug/Background all pending again......GEO pref Michigan.

Me too. Medical was just a 4 paper update request, Pee test like before, Background I havn't been contacted for.

For those who had their Background switch to pending recently, were your backgrounds due for an update? It appears MHC is refreshing the steps, for whatever reason, even when those steps should not have expired. My background was sent to the security office though it should not have expired until September 2011. If I recall correctly, applicants are not taken out of TSU if a polygraph is coming so what could it be?

I was pretty much taken out of TSU since they asked us to hand in new FCRA in April 2010 Then my background went pending since. Got the package of forms again around May 2010. Around September 2010, I met my 2nd BI. Still pending till now. I did my poly just last week. I got no call or email for fitness/drug/fitness. How long the VBT is good for? And for those who took the poly, did they tell you if you pass or fail on the spot?

All I need is my Background check to begin. Any idea on how long that is? I took the test back in May 09 and have gone this far in the process. My geo is Southwest Texas/NM. Does anyone know if they are currently looking for new customs agents for this sector?

Did you have to take time off of work for the poly? Do they offer Saturdays or evenings?

Just saw five new CBPO Interns walking around the port, didn't get chance to talk to them though.

Just scheduled a medical for the 16th with a drug test to follow. If I remember correct they were not going to be updating med/drug tests until they were going to be hiring for your area. I will be waiting by the phone ....

@ LI Coastie when was/is your TSU/TO date?

I had to take time off from work to go to this poly. I'm not sure if they offer weekends, but I highly doubt they have evening hours. This whole process takes up to 4 hours. I'm not sure if you're going to get the same place, but I took mine in Newark, NJ. When you do get the call for it, are you going to drive there? The reason why I asked because there's no way you can park in the streets. So I did research of parking lots there. The one I went to was pretty good, if you go there early. There's other parking lots around, but I like to go self parking. I only paid $8 for 4 hours after coupon. And the walk wasn't even far. PM me if anything.
