CBP officer

[baron6]

I actually sent out my equip without the attachments too.. when i emailed them to double check if they got my equip, the guy replied and told me i can just reply back with the needed attachment forms though email.

Thank you. I just emailed them

Hello all...I took my VBT and was found "ineligible"...I was wondering if it was possible to appeal this decision? I believe there was a "conflict of interest" since one of my test administrators was my previous Sup in CBP? if so does anyone have an email or phone number? Thanks in advance for your advice.

I just sent in my Equip with some forms I forgot to attached. Anyone know what I can do? I can't access Equip anymore since I released the forms...

Be careful about sending them some of the attached forms via email as there is personal information like social security numbers. You can fax the forms (which would be my advice over email). You need to attach the fax cover sheet to EVERY form, not just one cover sheet for all the forms.

You have to keep in mind the fact that our position exposes us to quite a bit of sensitive material and information... not to mention the power of enforcing those laws at a POE. This alone requires a thorough BI just to verify the type of person that will be coming in and eventually become a CBPO. I hold a "secret" clearance with the Army, and I never even met an investigator... but I was required to fill out and submit the same SF-86.

I would also advice the poster not to "TRUST" what is said from MHC.... as we came to know from our extended time in the waiting line, they can give you 10 different answers to the same question. So take their responses with a grain of salt...

Thanks for the "TRUST" advice. I've been reading your post. I know people like you can give insight into some things and I appriciate it. In the Air Force we trust our Wingman(Battle Buddy) but we are taught to verify. "Trust but verify." My security manager asked me what security clearance I would get(thats why I asked them). When I told her, she just said "don't worry about it, just let me know when they are done." She couldn't get into e-quip because CBP. I'm not sure if this happend with you, but she told me sometimes agencies security clearances bumps out another agency clearance(if something isn't done). Is your Army clearence still ative? She told me it wasn't a big deal, she would just have to go in and make it active again.

I do not believe they can fail you for that. They can reschduale you and give you another test administrator but they wouldn't fail you for that. I would also think their is a way to appeal(get it reviewed again) but I don't know the process.

Can anybody answer this question???, instead of bickering about security clearances. Here's the correct answer....if you need it they will give it to you....if not they wont, and it doesn't much matter. they screen everyone the same up front no matter what.

Some advice. When working with people from different backgrounds, experiences, cultures and maturity levels, it's best sometimes to just listen and try to learn. Always try to learn first. After listening attentively, knowing all facts that you can know at that time and knowing your audence, you address the situation. When you respond as you have done, it makes you look very immature and not helpful. So your answer would not be the correct answer. It would only be an opinion.

I think is so weird how a non Leo position like a screener for TSA at an air port are requiring background checks for secret clearance and cbpo doesn't. "Hinky"

and yet...

Sadly, this airport is 10 minutes from my house...doesn't make my city look very good.

So I am thinking it might take a while to get a TO for SEB. Got the results a few days ago. Now the wait begins again, I am trying to forget that I even took this test the process seems so long.

Yes, my clearance is still active. We go through an extensive BI for the position with CBP, it's not an actual clearance, so it shouldn't really interfere with anything you have going with another agency. In time you will learn how MHC gives out different answers to the same question.

Best of Luck in you process!

Hi all,

Just took my VBT-Structured Interview down in San diego today. Had to fill out some forms for confidentiallty purposes. As you all know, we are not allowed to speak about the details of the VBT Interview. The proctor (CBP officer) told me after I was complete, that I needed to go back into the lobby. He then came out 20 mins later, and told me and thanks for coming and shook my hand. He went on to say that results would be avail in 2-3 weeks. I then asked him if they were going to do a over the table interview with me and he didn't really have an answer for me. After reading all of the threads about being interviewed, one on one, after the VBT, I was ready for just that. I was properly dressed and think I did good on the VBT.

1. Is that common for CBP to only be ok with the VBT and not need to do the one on one table interview?
2. Has anyone of you out there had that same thing happen?

That does not sound good. Sorry man. Someone with more experience might want to chime in. God Speed!
