This is my problem, too. That's why I was asking about a notary public.

In SD, you can go to Coronado and try to get them done on base. 32nd Street is probably your best bet.

I hope someone can give me an answer, I currently hold a military security clearance and all my info is in system, finger prints and such will this help the investigative process move a little faster? Also, how long does it take to change the area you are interested in. I have currently selected SE, but would take SW if the call would come sooner. Also, I took the test and receiced my NOR, rating of 100. How much does vet pref with a score of 100 help the process along. I have seen people on this forum post T.O.s already and they took the test at the same time I did.

Hey guys I've been watching these forums for a while, and it's been really helpful

Last week I got THE call

Took my PFT2 on friday and passed
My EOD was scheduled for 9/26 for SYS
and Flect 10/14

But a few minutes ago I got another call saying that my Background has gone into 'pending' again, and due to this my EOD has to be cancelled indefinitely

Has this happened to anyone here? Or maybe one of you knows someone with my situation

What can I expect? How long might this take?

Thank you

Your military clearance won't help speed things up at all. I have a feeling they're finished with issuing SE tentative offers for a little while, if you want the job and are willing to go SWB I would switch right away.

You might want to double check your sources... First time I've ever heard of BPA's "automatically" jumping pay-scales to reach "journeyman" GS-12 from a GL-9. As I understand it their "journeyman" level is GL-9, that is automatic non-competitive "promotion", same as with CBPO's up to GS-12. Anything past that will be a competitive position...

This is incorrect information. Border Patrol journyman level is in fact GS-12.

For those who took the test in july and august and picked the southwest border and got TO, were you able to pick a port within the region yet (or at least the ports you would like to be stationed)?

I'm also from Guayanilla but moved to north area now...
Good to know that there are PR's in this forum

Well my friend, I dont live in Guayanilla anymore, I moved to Guayama, and i worked at the Airport. How old are you? We might know each other, who knows

That's weird. Can you send PM's if not shoot an email address.

I havent been on here in quite a long time. Looks like there are some people coming to Miami, FL.... How many are coming to the airport out of curiosity?

I bit the bullet and switched my location to the SWB in hopes of finally receiving a TO.

I tested in July and there was absolutely no option to select a specific ports. The only thing it states was several ports in CA NM AZ and TX.

Test:july 2011 (San Diego)
NOR: Aug 2011
TSL-phase1 AUG 2011
TSL-phase2 AUG 2011
VBT/SI OCT 5 2011
Medical ?
Pft1?
Meet BI ?
Drug test?

Good for you.......if I could, I would in a heartbeat. Unfortunately my wife wouldn't make the move and I'd have to live almost three thousand miles from my family. At this rate, you'll make it back east before I ever even receive a tentative offer.

If all goes well with my PFT2 on Thursday, I'll be there Monday!

I completely understand where you're coming from and we'll see what happens. From what I've read on this forum and on Delphi, it appears that many ports on the east coast are undermanned... yet, CBP is dedicating just about their entire hiring budget towards the SWB.
