CBP officer

[ten30code01]

Harry. I was told my BI was turned into IA june 8. As of two weeks ago IA said it was assigned to an officer but it has not been reviewed. So its been sitting in a desk for 6 months.

In the same boat as you guys completed everything waiting on background. Met with BI in early July. Its a mystery on how they determine who gets the call and when.

[Disoriented Guy]

Amazed...

I am sometimes amazed at how quickly some of you guys/gals go thru the process. I tested in November 2008 and have been referred twice to the scheduling unit (latest was Oct-2011). Everything else is in my signature. I'm still waiting for Texas (Houston).

My BI was turned into IA October. I have no idea if it had been assigned to an officer yet. I am just waiting and trying to figure out way some people get "the call" so fast. Anyway, good luck in your application.
P.S. Where in Florida do you live? I live in Central Florida.

I haven't been able to get IA to call me back so I can find out the status of my investigation.

I can only assume that applicants for the southwest border are getting priority right now. My application status was stagnant for 7 months. Once I switch my geo preference to the southwest, it started immediately and everything was completed in about 2-2.5 months.

On another note..Does anyone know what number is best to call to see if my background has been assigned to an IA?

Thanks

Took my VBT today. When I asked the officer whether or not a separate SI was going to be administered he said "No, the VBT is the SI" only to have me wait for 30 minutes and then I got pulled in front of an oral panel for the SI. Don't think I did too well but we'll see rite? On a good note got scheduled for my DT Friday as well.

Congrats to those that got the call recently.

I though the VBT was a terrible idea. I felt like a deer in headlights taking that test, but somehow passed it. My oral was with 2 officers, was fairly relaxed and none of my answers really made me seem like some fantastic worker. In fact, after I was finished I was kicking myself for not answering better. You'll pass, but the nerves will make you think otherwise until you see that check mark.

Good luck. Hopefully I'll see you at fletc next year, fellow Californian.

CBPAS is a different job listing ? or they assign people in the academy to be CBPAS ?

Different. No.

Aggies are more or less like self-aggrandized techs.

Anyone going to Detroit Dec. 9th PFT2 0800?

I just took the VBT and waited about 30 minutes after the VBT and they said they'd mail me the results. Did I fail?

Glad I don't feel alone. I was totally going blank and trying to pay attention to every peice of detail. After I answered I felt like I wanted to kick myself in the @$$ because I could have responded better. My oral responses were more directed towards the current job I had too and made it sound like I was just some average Joe. I pray I pass. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Where abouts are you in California?

There's mixed responses. Some took the VBT and didn't get an SI and failed while others passed. It is what it is I wouldn't assume you failed. I would just wait for a response. I'm sure you did fine and will get a pass.

If you took it a JFK you probably failed. JFK has been giving the SI the same day as the VBT
