CBP officer

[ldomi]

I have my written test tomorrow in NYC anyone have any info on what to expect tomm?? Does anyone know what the demand for cbp officers in the NYC area is like? One last question do I need a calculator? Thank you!

you are not allowed to use a calculator. As far as what to expect, lots of math, reading and word comprehension.

That's what I thought.I have been studying the online packet But didn't see anything as to whether or not I needed one...
.. Thank you

Yea no calculator but they do allow a blank sheet to work out the math problems. Also arrive at least 30mins early. The testing center on Varick street gets pretty crowded and it can take almost 30mins to clear the line.

I took my test a few weeks ago and scored a 100 without veterans preference. I am hoping to get my TSL soon. Anyone that has applied under the most recent announcement get a TSL yet?

I turned in all mine too. I got a 99 on test and picked SE. Of course I uploaded docs when the cutoff was April 30 now it is extended to May 31. I hope we don't have to wait till then. I would pick SWB but the wife said no to that. Family comes first. She agreed to SE

I called IA twice this week and left my information as instructed. THe recording said I should be receiving a call within 2 business days but nothing yet. I wonder.......

Where are CBP officers most needed along the SWB. San Ysirdo, CA??

Applying to the SWB and getting a place like San Ysirdo is considered VERY LUCKY! let me just tell you that now. at least you will be close to "civilization" there. just do some research on the areas some of their ports are in along the swb of texas, AZ, and CA you will think twice about applying to the swb if you aren't from that area and don't know what to expect

For people who just applied. might not get the TSL's for at least 2-3 months. Some people waited almost a year just to make it to their pft1.

Right now, if you are NOT a female AND applying to the swb, expect the wait process to be a very long time from this most recent job openibg.

Does anyone know if a TSL will inform a particular location?

You won't find out a location until you receive "the call", which will be right before your PFT2. You have a long wait, unfortunately.
