Someone just got the call for Blaine Washington on Delphi forum.... Khue, you next man!

Thanks for the kind gesture, but my BI is in security office (I don't have to meet with investigator or turn in any forms)...Not sure when it will clear. It's the very last check. What location are you waiting for?

So what kind of position is SV L and M??

The kind of position that usually includes the word "Director" in your job title.

When there was a US Customs Service, Immigration was NOT part of it. Immigration was, not surprisingly, was part of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. When the mergers happened back in 2003, both the US Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service ceased to exist. Three new agencies were formed using components from the former US Customs Service and Immigration and Naturalization Service. They are US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS).

If you want a job with any of these agencies, it might be wise to do a bit of research and actually know the history of the agencies to better understand what they actually do. That being said, in general be prepared for a long wait to be hired. However, there are some people being given EOD dates that did test in 2010. The reasons for this are varied and in most cases known to MCH only.

O that's strange because where I work the director is a GS 15 and he only reports to two people and that is the vice president and the president. So how is a SV L and M so much higher then a GS 15??

Well you can't really say that they are perfect equivalents, there are plenty of guides out there that will give you a loose translation from the GS payscale to the SV system. Using those guides provided by DHS, they say that a GS-15 is equivalent to a K-band employee. Maybe an L and M band employee is really the same as a seasoned GS-15, I don't know, the systems don't translate perfectly. Anyway, the argument is kind of moot to be honest. I was merely illustrating that what his GS-15 contacts say may not be absolute, there are obviously many opinions on the subject matter from all levels of employees, from GS-5 to GS-15 and SV-D to SV-L.

Just thought I would put you in your place while making you look like a idiot. Only because you tried to make someone else look like an idiot when you don't know what you are talking about..

Yeah, good one Farva, you really got me there.......

[CBPO11]

That's probably the case at the majority of ports!

Absolutely, i guess all the manpower and money is going to SWB and they are having a tough time holding onto them

[Waterpistola]

Yeah, good one Farva, you really got me there.......

Topp Gun, Khue

No worries, when you get on you will be at the airport for at least the first few months for OJT (On the Job Training). That is where Im going after FLETC after a few weeks in the office.

Hopefully you guys get on quick so I can get some senority.
Good Luck guys

I don't know if I can handle processing long flight passengers in an indoor environment everyday. I will go nuts not knowing if it's daylight outside. I hope you get it.
