CBP officer

No I know that. I mean has anyone failed teh VBT/SI then reapplied and come back to triumph and get the job? I feel like with the year ban from re-testing they purposely make you go through all the steps again.

I failed my first PFT & reapplied right away & made it all the way through. It's possible. Good luck!

Have they phased out polygraphs from the hiring process again? I know they were doing them for a while but it doesn't say anything about it that I could find for the current process.

[casadenewman]

Nope in fact for the newest announcement they are mandatory. I think the newest job announcement number is XXX7500.
In the previous ones they said you might have to take the poly.

Hey everybody. Sorry I haven't been on for a while. I was away doing some training at Ft. Dix. While I was there I got TSL 1 and 2. They said they were due by 28 Jun and my training wasnt over till 29 Jun. They said to just let them know when I was off my orders and once I did that they already have started calling me/mailing me/e-mailing me to schedule things. They also made it seem like my background could clear faster because I already have a Secret clearance...anyone else have any experience with this in thier background check?

Got my letter in the mail saying I passed my VBT/SI. Now, I just have to wait for the review of my medical to go through. Hoping I hear back about that quickly.

You might have misread their information... One clearance has nothing to do with the other. You will go through the investigation just like everyone else and most likely a mandatory Poly to go with it.
Best of Luck Soldier!

Thanks Yoda. It really seems like every other person behind the phones has a different answer for everything.

Hello everyone! I'm new to this thread but have a few questions I'm hoping someone can give a little insite on. I applied for CBPO back in April and just took my medical exam about a week ago. The fitness test cleared instantly on CASS. I have three questions really. The first is that I have practically no background, I do not own anything, no outstanding credit card debt, etc because I'm too young. So should my BI clear faster than most? Will I even need a polygraph? Also technically I do not believe I meet the qualification requirements till the end of my fall semester at college. Is it possible they will disregard that? I am female and applied to the SW border.

Hi Hikari, and congratulation to being young . I am not sure about your experience, the position ask for a college degree and/or experience... and off course your BI could be easier than other, but, you will still need to take the polygraph.

Thank you! TSU is when you successfully complete everything, your CASS will show that you are referred to the training and scheduling unit. When I got the call I was offered Otay Mesa and San Ysidro.
