Nikki - I'm waiting for my 2nd BI to clear too! Have you had to redo the PFT1 or medical? I'm afraid as soon as the BI clears those are going to go back to pending too. So frustrating!

No I haven't had to re-do them yet they are still showing cleared but my drug test has been pending for about 6 months now. I have the same fear as you that once BI is clear other things will go pending. My fingers are crossed that it will not though and we will get the call before that happens (nothing wrong with a little wishfull thinking). However I did call about the drug test pending for so long and the woman was a little aggravated that I called and said not to call again and that I just have to wait and told me I wouldn't be contacted till thay contracted a company to do it again. Personally I got the impression she was making it up as she went.

Looks like my class date is back to aug2 so good luck Yoda. I'll be a class or two behind you. My background too long to clear. But it's clear now and I'll be doing vlc till then.

Your second background right?

Hey guys, I submitted my 2nd BI forms, finger prints, and e-QIP three months ago and I have not received a call from the investigator. Do you think this is too long or should I call MHC. Thanks

Wouldn't hurt to call or email them.

Does anyone know if the polygraph examiner is the exact same person that will be conducting your background investigation?

Some time back on usajobs, they had a vacancy announcement for "Polygraph Examiners" for CBP. I'm assuming those are probably the ones doing the polygraph. In 2007, we had Criminal Investigators from OPM doing our BIs.

Medical clears in about 4 weeks, investigator calls you when he is assigned to your case and can take 1-3 months from when it says "in the security office"... it will say clear when you have done and passed the step, not before.

For what it's worth, I sent an email to MHC asking a question regarding the new (at the time) geographic preference policy. They just got back to me today and failed to answer my question. I guess that's G O V for ya.

Another CBP Chick here! Waiting on SW Cali since 2009. Second BI done April ...cass still reads pending. Just got sheduled my second medical exam but the lady said only medical not sure if I would re-do PFT1. Does the PFT1 expire?

2nd medical is not as intrusive or complete as the first... I had to do all of those steps 3 times, they all expire every year.

VLC's are a requirement now, from what I was told, and you won't have access to them without a full BI... I just find it weird that you were cleared on the system, you get the call, but yet when you get to your POE it says you're not cleared. I'm thinking there was some miscommunication between IA and MHC, and now you're delayed for another week! As long as you get there bud, have fun with the VLC's and don't fall asleep!...
