For anyone who has been waiting a while to have the initial meeting with the BI you might not have that meeting prior to having a polygraph. I submitted my paperwork 4 months ago, and have been waiting to have the BI meeting ever since.
I spoke with IA a few times in the last 2 weeks and have been told twice by different people that i will not meet my BI until after i complete the polygraph, and that i can expect to wait another 2 months or so to get scheduled for a poly since they are overloaded essentially.
This seems to be opposite of what most people were experiencing where they met the BI fairly quickly then get the poly if they needed to some point later.
Just my experience dont know if applies to others but figured i would share it.CBPO 2011

Just thought I would let everyone know, that might not know already- the BIs have due dates, apparently. My investigator kept repeating "your report is due, your report is due". I'm not sure how long after it's "due" that it takes them to review and approve it, but I thought that was interesting since everything seems to take so long...food for thought, I guess...anyone have their investigator say something similar?GEO: Midwest

Does anyone on here know about the CBPO reinstatement policy?
How many months or years do you have to work until you are eligible for reinstatement, should you resign?
Also, if you resign (on good terms) and request to be reinstated, can you request to be reinstated at a different port?

As a practical matter, there is no meaningful reinstatement policy.
While it's possible to resign and return later...very few manage to do it. As far as the mechanisms behind the pathways to reinstatement, that I do not know. I imagine a comprehensive search through the Delphi board would give you something.
My guess is that a person would need career status before making such a move. I also believe there is a three year window in which a person need not return to the academy for basic training... but that might be conditional. They redid the academy a few years back...so they might send anyone who's not a current CBPOBT grad back to FLETC.
I have heard of people resigning and getting hired on at another port. Like with many other things in this agency, hearing of something and actually seeing it in person can be miles apart.
Good luck with it,
Mer.

Just a refresher on how bad a BI process can get...
My first took 2.5 years with a NOPA and a Poly, with no determination it expired and a 2nd one was done on my 3rd year of waiting. Second one cleared in about 3 months after meeting the investigator, and because I spoke with a Sup at IA explaining to them how long I had been in the process and the possibility of aging out if it were to take as long as the 1st one.
Food for thought for all of those starting out in the process...CBPO
